Business continuity
Immutable backups and a 15-minute recovery objective, tested quarterly — a filing deadline never waits for a restore.
Continuity planning at most firms is a binder nobody has opened since the insurance renewal. Ours is an operating discipline: immutable backups that ransomware can't touch, documented recovery objectives per system, and quarterly drills that prove the numbers instead of assuming them.
The plans are deadline-aware because legal work is. A restore that takes six hours is fine on a quiet Tuesday and catastrophic the morning a brief is due. Recovery runbooks prioritize by matter urgency, and the systems attorneys need first come back first.
Pairs with our security stack — see immutable backups under Security & Compliance for the ransomware-defense side of the same discipline.
