RESILIENCE ASSURANCE
Expect the unexpected. De-risk your business from existential threats.
Could your business withstand a cyberattack? Kickdrum has observed many businesses, particularly in the SaaS field, that are at increased risk due to an insufficient understanding of backup mechanisms, untested recovery or rebuild procedures, over-reliance on cloud providers, or more. Kickdrum Resilience Assurance was built to safeguard against these and other threats.
HOW IT WORKS
Kickdrum’s experienced cloud engineers follow a three phase approach to Resilience Assurance with the following focus:
Data recoverability: assess your current cloud environment, implement cross-region backups, establish monitoring and alerting, document runbooks, and test restorability.
System recovery time: use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) techniques to automate infrastructure provisioning, implement automation for unmanaged assets, document runbooks, build a production environment replica to validate automation, and more.
Reducing outstanding recovery time and recovery point risks: Establish formal RPO and RTO, implement cross-account backups, optimize recovery time, and improve system reliability, availability, and serviceability to mitigate potential outages
