Simplifying Operational Resilience for EU DORA & UK FCA/PRA Directives

Financial institutions will be required to prove operational resilience by Q1 2025.

How We Help

Automate physical system recovery at scale

Simplify boot management for all systems

Recover to isolated networks for verification & cyber forensics

Reset your test environment at the click of a button

Cristie system recovery provides various methods for bulk system mapping to facilitate the recovery of important & critical services that are supported by large scale server estates. Our software integrates with common boot management solutions simplifying the recovery process for both physical & virtual systems. Simulated recoveries can be performed within a sandbox environment for verification and cyber analysis in complete isolation from your production environment.

System Recovery

Orchestrate tiered system recovery to support application & service dependences.

Automate the recovery of physical machines eliminating manual intervention.

Improve system recovery times to meet FCA/PRA & DORA impact tolerance objectives.

The recovery of physical machines often requires manual intervention under traditional recovery methods. Cristie Software system recovery solutions can automate the recovery of physical machines removing the bottleneck of manual intervention which can present a major impediment to large scale system recovery.

Resilience Testing

Automate simulated recoveries with ML driven result log file analysis.

Recover to physically and logically segregated systems as prescribed in DORA Article 12.

Easily test recovery time and recovery point objectives for critical & important functions to ensure that agreed service levels are met.

FCA Resilience Testing: Chapter 5 of the Financial Conduct Authority policy statement PS21/3 provides a high-level view of the mapping and scenario testing that institutions need to perform which should be proportionate to the size, scale and complexity of the services being protected.
DORA Resilience Testing: Article 12 (Backup policies and procedures, restoration and recovery procedures and methods) in the final text of DORA offers more comprehensive directions regarding testing of backup procedures plus restoration and recovery procedures for critical services which must be undertaken periodically.
Cristie have applied Machine Learning to improve system recovery performance

Operational Resilience

Simplify recovery at scale for critical & important business services.

Incorporate advanced anomaly detection into the recovery process.

Accelerate your restoration and recovery procedures and methods within the transitional period.

Implementing efficient system recovery is a fundamental component of building Operational Resilience into critical & important business services. Cristie Software system recovery solutions are designed to facilitate large scale system recovery in conjunction with leading backup solutions from IBM, Dell Technologies, Rubrik and Cohesity.

How CBMR works

Learn more about CBMR.

CBMR is a simple, yet powerful, backup software solution that creates a backup of your entire system as well as the data files and databases that you specify. The backup can be held on a network share, a tape device, a library, a standalone NAS or using Spectrum Protect.

The software will also provide quick recovery of the operating system in the event of system failure or human error. The recovered machine can be on dissimilar hardware or on a virtual or cloud machine.

CBMR also provides the ability to clone to a new machine from an existing backup. The cloning option allows the hostname and/or the IP address to be changed during the recovery.

CBMR allows you to backup data on your system to any backup location attached to your computer or network, including FTP (Windows only), tape, VMware, Hyper-V, Spectrum Protect and AWS and OCI public clouds. You can then examine the content of the backup and restore any desired files or directories.

Clean Room Recovery | Continuous Recovery Assurance from Cristie Software

What is Clean Room Recovery in Cybersecurity?

Clean Room recovery provides a secure, isolated environment to safely test and validate system recoveries after a cyberattack. By preventing reinfection from hidden threats like ransomware, it ensures recovery points are clean and reliable—making it an essential part of modern cybersecurity and business continuity strategies.
