Cybersecurity at StradIT is never reactive. We took a structured, multi-step approach to help this client overcome their cybersecurity challenges from the ground up.

Getting Under the Hood of Every Application

We began by understanding everything — carefully mapping each application's architecture, identifying its data sources, and tracing downstream dependencies. No application was treated as a black box.

Measuring Recovery Readiness

Next, we evaluated the Recovery Point Capability of every application in scope. This included examining existing backup mechanisms, replay capabilities, and calculating exactly how much data could be lost in different failure scenarios.

Building Custom Test Plans

We designed 100% tailored test plans for each application — accounting for database type (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2), application criticality, integration complexity, and business function. No two plans were alike.

Running the Tests and Keeping Governance Tight

Our experts performed tests alongside client teams, ensuring every governance standard was met. All evidence, reports, and sign-offs were securely stored for full audit readiness.

Closing the Gaps and Arming Teams with Playbooks

After testing, we compiled a clear list of gaps and remediation recommendations. For every application, we created or updated playbooks and runbooks with step-by-step instructions for recovering systems with minimal data loss. These documents became the go-to resource for teams facing an incident.
