Proven Resilience in Action
Don't just take our word for it. See how we've helped enterprises across critical industries transform their resilience posture and achieve peace of mind.
FinTech Firm Achieves Sub-15-Minute RTO for Regulatory Compliance
Industry: Financial Technology (FinTech)
Client Overview: A rapidly growing US-based payment processing company handling billions of dollars in transactions annually. They faced immense pressure from regulators to demonstrate a robust and testable disaster recovery plan with aggressive recovery time objectives.
"CIS didn't just sell us a product; they engineered a complete resilience strategy. Their automated testing gives our board and our auditors the confidence we need. The peace of mind is invaluable."
Key Challenges:
- An existing RTO of 8+ hours, which was unacceptable for regulators.
- A complex, multi-tier application architecture hosted on AWS.
- Inability to perform DR tests without significant downtime and manual effort.
- Lack of in-house expertise in advanced cloud-native DR solutions.
Our Solution:
- Designed and implemented a multi-region, active-passive DR strategy on AWS.
- Utilized AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) for continuous, block-level replication of critical servers.
- Automated the entire failover and failback process using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and AWS Lambda.
- Established a quarterly, automated, non-disruptive DR drill schedule with comprehensive reporting.
Healthcare Provider Recovers from Ransomware in Under 1 Hour
Industry: Healthcare
Client Overview: A large EMEA-based hospital network with critical patient data and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. They were concerned about the rising threat of ransomware and the potential for catastrophic disruption to patient care.
"The ransomware simulation was terrifyingly realistic, but the recovery was flawless. CIS's solution worked exactly as promised. We were back online before it could have impacted patient care. They are a true partner in protecting our mission."
Key Challenges:
- Legacy backup systems vulnerable to being encrypted during an attack.
- Long recovery times from traditional tape and disk backups.
- Need to ensure HIPAA compliance and data integrity during recovery.
- Protecting a hybrid environment of on-premises EHR and cloud applications.
Our Solution:
- Deployed a Veeam-based solution with immutable, air-gapped backups stored in AWS S3 Object Lock.
- Implemented a "clean room" recovery sandbox in the cloud for forensic analysis and safe restoration.
- Created automated recovery plans to restore the entire EHR system and its dependencies in the correct order.
- Conducted a full-scale, simulated ransomware attack to validate the recovery process and train the client's IT team.
Australian Retail Giant Ensures Zero Downtime During Peak Holiday Season
Industry: Retail & E-commerce
Client Overview: A major Australian retailer with hundreds of physical stores and a high-traffic e-commerce platform. Any downtime during the critical holiday shopping season would result in millions of dollars in lost revenue and severe brand damage.
"Every year, we held our breath during the holiday rush. After partnering with CIS, we can finally focus on sales instead of worrying about our systems crashing. Their hybrid BCP solution has been a game-changer for our business."
Key Challenges:
- A complex hybrid environment with on-premises SAP for inventory and a cloud-based e-commerce site.
- Previous outages during minor traffic spikes had caused significant financial loss.
- The inability to failover individual components without taking the entire system offline.
- Ensuring real-time data synchronization between inventory and online storefront.
Our Solution:
- Architected a high-availability solution for the on-premises SAP system using VMware clustering and replication to a secondary site.
- Re-architected the e-commerce platform on Azure using auto-scaling groups and a multi-region database.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, straightforward answers to your most pressing questions about enterprise resilience.
Think of it this way: Disaster Recovery (DR) is a subset of Business Continuity (BC). DR is focused specifically on restoring your IT infrastructure and data after a disaster. Business Continuity is a broader, more holistic strategy that encompasses DR but also includes plans for your people, processes, and alternative workplaces to ensure the entire business can continue to operate during a disruption, not just the IT systems.
This is a common and dangerous misconception. Cloud providers operate on a "Shared Responsibility Model." They are responsible for the security *of* the cloud (their infrastructure), but you are responsible for security and resilience *in* the cloud. This means you are responsible for protecting your own data from accidental deletion, configuration errors, and cyberattacks like ransomware. A regional outage could also take your services offline if you haven't architected for multi-region resilience. We build that essential layer of protection on top of the cloud provider's infrastructure.
We guarantee RTOs and RPOs through a combination of technology, process, and validation. We use leading replication technologies for near-synchronous data protection (low RPO) and architect automated recovery playbooks that execute failover procedures in minutes (low RTO). Most importantly, we don't just hope it works; we prove it through regular, automated, non-disruptive DR drills. The results of these tests validate our ability to meet the agreed-upon SLAs, which are then backed contractually.
No. Our implementation process is designed to be completely non-disruptive. We deploy our solutions in parallel to your production environment. Data replication happens in the background with minimal performance impact. All testing and failover drills are conducted in an isolated "bubble" network, ensuring there is zero risk to your live systems. Our CMMI Level 5 certified processes ensure a smooth, risk-free deployment.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your environment, your RTO/RPO requirements, and the number of systems you need to protect. However, the crucial question is not "what does it cost?" but "what is the cost of doing nothing?". A single hour of downtime can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in lost revenue, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. Our AI-enabled and cloud-based solutions are significantly more cost-effective than building and maintaining a traditional physical DR site.
