Disaster Recovery Testing – Be Ready When It Counts

Your Disaster Recovery Plan Isn’t Real Until It’s Tested

Imagine your entire system goes offline tomorrow. Do you know what happens next? Most businesses think they’re ready—but when disaster strikes, untested plans crumble. Helios IT’s Disaster Recovery Testing ensures your business can bounce back—fast, confidently, and without chaos.

What Is Disaster Recovery Testing?

Disaster Recovery (DR) Testing is a controlled process where we simulate unexpected IT failures—cyberattacks, data loss, system outages—and evaluate how well your business can recover.

It’s not about theory. It’s about action.

We test everything: your backups, infrastructure, processes, and people. Then we identify weaknesses and help you fix them—before the real crisis hits.

Why DR Testing Is Business-Critical?

60% of businesses without a tested recovery plan go under within 6 months of a major IT failure.

Don’t let that be you.

Here’s why testing matters:

Backups are not bulletproof
Many companies don’t realise their backups are incomplete, corrupted, or outdated—until it’s too late.
Downtime is costly
Every minute offline costs you money, productivity, and customer trust. DR testing shows you how fast you can actually recover.
Plans need people
Even a great plan will fail if your team doesn’t know what to do. Testing ensures everyone is aligned, trained, and ready.
Cyber threats are evolving
Ransomware, phishing, and insider threats can destroy untested systems. We simulate modern threats to build real-world resilience.
