You’ve already taken the first step: your data is protected.
What most organisations haven’t formalised is what happens next: how decisions are made, work continues, and responsibilities are executed when core systems are unavailable.
Backup preserves information.
Continuity determines whether the business keeps functioning.
Control-C’s Business Continuity Advisory helps leadership teams turn backup into an operational capability, grounded in the systems, data, and dependencies they actually run.
What this work addresses
Most outages don’t fail because data is lost. They fail because people don’t know:
- which systems matter first
- who has authority to act
- how long the business can realistically operate in degraded mode
- or how restored data turns back into live operations
Continuity planning closes that gap before pressure removes the option to think.
Deep-dive continuity consulting
Designed for organisations running on SaaS backbones such as Xero, Cin7, and XPM.
Our work focuses on practical readiness, not theoretical frameworks:
- Business impact analysis tied to real operational choke points
- Recovery priorities aligned to what the business can tolerate
- Clear runbooks for outages, vendor failure, cyber incidents, and integration breakdowns
- Tabletop exercises and simulations that surface assumptions early
- Documentation that stands up to audits and executive scrutiny
All planning is anchored directly to Control-C Time Vault data, so recovery is executable, not aspirational.
Engagement models
Engagements are scoped to match where the organisation is today:
- Strategic advisory retainers aligned to quarterly resilience goals
- Fixed-scope continuity programs with executive workshops and defined deliverables
- Readiness sprints for regulatory deadlines, vendor risk, or elevated threat periods
Each engagement is designed to produce decisions, not shelfware.
Typical deliverables
- Business impact analysis with prioritised recovery tiers
- Scenario-based playbooks covering common and high-impact failures
- Recovery timelines aligned to actual RTO and RPO expectations
- Tabletop exercise kits and after-action review templates
- Audit-ready continuity documentation that evolves with your SaaS stack
What organisations gain
- Shared clarity on operational risk and recovery priorities
- Faster, calmer responses when systems fail
- Reduced downtime and reputational exposure
- Confidence during audits, incidents, and leadership transitions
- A continuity posture that evolves as systems and vendors change
For most teams, the biggest shift is not technical; it’s decisional.
The next step
Backup is already in place.
Continuity is simply unfinished work.
A short strategy call is usually enough to determine scope, timing, and relevance.
