Security defends you.
Continuity recovers you.

Together they are the complete picture. IPC Navigate Continuity delivers business continuity and disaster recovery built around your environment, your operations, and your recovery objectives. Structured backup with immutable storage, tested recovery, and cloud-based restoration. When something happens, you recover. Not eventually. Actually.

How recovery actually works

Protected. Tested. Recoverable.

A backup that has never been tested is not a backup. Navigate Continuity makes recovery something you have already proven, not something you hope works.

Protected
Backups ransomware can't touch.

Daily scheduled backups with a second, immutable copy in IPC's datacenter. Immutable storage cannot be altered or encrypted, so you restore from a known-good state without negotiating.

Tested
Recovery you've already proven.

Recovery is verified on a scheduled basis, not assumed. RTO and RPO targets are documented and validated before a crisis, so you know your backups work before you need them to.

Recoverable
Restore even if the site is gone.

Daily backups replicate to IPC's datacenter, and optional cloud-based disaster recovery enables full environment restoration even when the physical site is unreachable.

What is at stake

The day you need a backup is the wrong day to test it

Three failures we see again and again, and why each one is preventable.

Ransomware with no clean backup
The scenario

Your environment is encrypted and the only backup is encrypted too. You pay, or you lose everything.

How IPC solves it

Immutable copies remove that choice entirely, so there is always a clean backup to restore.

A backup that was never tested
The scenario

A server fails during a critical period. The backups exist but have never been restored, so recovery drags on for days.

How IPC solves it

We test recovery on a schedule and document your RTO and RPO, so restores are proven before you need them.

A site lost with no offsite copy
The scenario

Fire or flood destroys the onsite appliance and there is no copy anywhere else.

How IPC solves it

With offsite replication and cloud DR, the site is gone but the data is not.

Clear Path  ·  Assess. Navigate. Sustain.

A clear path to dependable recovery

The same structured methodology IPC applies across every engagement, brought to your backup and continuity plan. You always know where you stand and what comes next.

01
Assess

We review your current backup posture, identify gaps in coverage and retention, and document your recovery time and recovery point objectives against your operational reality.

02
Navigate

We design and implement a backup and continuity plan aligned to your RTO and RPO goals, your data criticality, and your infrastructure, with immutable cloud copies and tested restoration procedures.

03
Sustain

We monitor backup job health continuously, test recovery routinely, and keep your continuity plan current as your environment evolves. Recovery is verified, not assumed.

The reality check

Same crisis. Two very different days.

What an incident looks like without a real continuity program, and what it looks like with one.

Without business continuity
With IPC Navigate Continuity
A ransomware attack encrypts your environment. You have no clean backup. You pay, or you lose everything.
Immutable cloud copies cannot be encrypted by ransomware. You restore from a known-good state without negotiating.
A server fails during a critical period. Backups exist but have never been tested. Recovery takes days.
Routine backup testing verifies recovery procedures. RTO and RPO targets are documented and validated before a crisis.
Your onsite backup appliance is destroyed in a fire or flood. No offsite copy exists. The data is gone.
Daily backups replicate to IPC's datacenter. Cloud-based DR restores your full environment even when the site is unreachable.
Leadership asks for the recovery plan. You cannot produce one. Confidence erodes.
A documented, tested continuity plan is maintained and current. Leadership has confidence and auditors have evidence.
Defense and recovery, one program

Recovery you can actually count on

Navigate Continuity is designed to work seamlessly with Navigate Security: one defends your environment, the other recovers it. Cloud copies and optional DR live in IPC's own datacenter, in known, managed hands.

Built into every continuity program
Immutable storage Tested recovery Cloud-based DR Cyber insurance documentation
Immutable cloud copy

A second copy of your backup data in IPC's datacenter, stored immutably so ransomware cannot alter or encrypt it.

Routine recovery testing

We verify recovery on a scheduled basis. You will know your backup works before you ever have to depend on it.

IPC datacenter infrastructure

Cloud copies and optional DR live in IPC's own datacenter, not a generic third-party cloud. Your recovery is in known, managed hands.

RTO and RPO documented

Your recovery time and recovery point objectives are documented at onboarding, and the plan is built around them.

The Program

Daily Scheduled Backups

Server and network environment backed up daily at agreed maintenance windows. Consistent, automated, and monitored.

Onsite Backup Appliance Support

Customer or IPC-provided hardware support for your onsite backup appliance, with appliance health monitored as part of the program.

Immutable Cloud Copy

A second copy of your backup data in IPC's datacenter. Immutable storage cannot be altered or encrypted by ransomware.

Routine Backup Testing

Recovery is verified on a scheduled basis, not assumed. You will know your backups work before you need them to.

Backup Job Health Monitoring

Proactive alerting on backup job failures or anomalies. Issues are addressed before they become gaps in coverage.

RTO & RPO Alignment

Your recovery time and recovery point objectives are documented during onboarding and your continuity plan is built around them.

Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery (Optional)

Full environment restoration in IPC's datacenter when onsite recovery is not possible. Scoped to your specific RTO and RPO requirements.

Predictable, Scoped Pricing

A flat monthly investment, not surprise invoices.

Every environment is different, so we scope Navigate IT to yours rather than quote a one-size price. Your investment is fixed and predictable, and you know exactly what it covers.

01
Your data footprint

The volume of data, number of servers, and retention you need set the baseline for backup and storage.

02
Your recovery objectives

How fast you must recover (RTO) and how much data you can afford to lose (RPO) shape the program.

03
Your DR scope

Whether you add optional cloud-based disaster recovery for full environment restoration when a site is down.

Why teams choose IPC for continuity

Immutable Storage by Default

Every cloud copy is immutable. Ransomware cannot touch it. That is not an add-on, it is how we build every continuity program.

Tested Recovery, Not Assumed

We verify recovery on a routine basis. A backup that has never been tested is not a backup. You will know it works before you depend on it.

Paired with Navigate Security

Security and continuity under one accountable partner. Navigate Security defends your environment, Navigate Continuity recovers it.

IPC Datacenter Infrastructure

Cloud copies and optional DR hosted in IPC's own datacenter, not a generic third-party cloud. Your recovery is in known, managed hands.

Cyber Insurance Documentation Support

IPC helps you document the controls that support your cyber liability coverage. The right insurance and the right continuity program work together.

Privately Owned and Founder-Led

Not PE-backed, not optimizing for an exit. Every decision is driven by what is right for your organization and your data.

We have worked with IPC on various projects and their engineering team is fantastic. Their ability to analyze a situation and offer ideas to solve issues is exceptional.

Got Questions?

Navigate Continuity, answered honestly

An immutable copy cannot be altered or encrypted once written, even by ransomware or a compromised admin account. So when an attack hits, you still have a known-good copy to restore from, no negotiating required.
