BCP & DR

Disaster Recovery Made Simple for Small & Medium Businesses

Executive Summary

Unplanned outages, cyberattacks, or regional failures can halt operations — but for SMBs and municipalities, enterprise-grade disaster recovery used to be out of reach.

Deop changes that with an automated, policy-driven Azure Disaster Recovery (DR) framework that combines Azure Site Recovery (ASR), FinOps optimization, and compliance-by-design principles.

With Deop, your organization can replicate workloads across Canadian regions, validate failovers automatically, and reduce recovery costs by up to 60% using cloud-native automation.

The Challenge

Most mid-sized organizations still rely on manual backups or outdated DR scripts.

Common issues include:

  • No automated failover or replication
  • High infrastructure costs for standby environments
  • Long RTO/RPO times (hours or days)
  • Unclear ownership during incidents
  • Limited testing or compliance visibility

Deop’s Azure DR framework replaces fragile, manual workflows with an integrated, cloud-native solution.

Deop’s Approach: Azure BCP & Disaster Recovery

Deop delivers a repeatable, automated disaster recovery design built on Azure Site Recovery (ASR) and Azure Backup.

Architecture Highlights:

Primary Site: On-premises or Azure production environment

Replication Layer: Azure Site Recovery continuously syncs virtual machines, storage, and configurations

Secondary Site: Secondary Azure region (Canada Central ↔ Canada East) for failover

Failover Orchestration: Deop deploys recovery plans with pre-defined network mapping and policy triggers

Automation: Terraform and Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipelines for provisioning and test automation

Security: Encrypted replication, managed keys, and PBMM alignment

Compliance & Data Residency

Every disaster recovery deployment adheres to Canadian data governance standards:

  • PIPEDA / PBMM (Protected B, Medium Integrity) for sensitive workloads
  • Regional data residency — replication between Canada East (Quebec City) and Canada Central (Toronto)
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 alignment for audit readiness
  • Continuous compliance using Azure Policy and Defender for Cloud

Your recovery environment stays fully within Canadian boundaries, meeting all public-sector and privacy mandates.

Testing, Failover, and Orchestration

Your team can test DR readiness without downtime.Automated test failovers validate configurations and capture reports for compliance.

  • Scheduled failover testing every 90 days
  • Automated notifications and remediation steps
  • Integration with Azure Monitor and Sentinel for observability

Result: measurable, repeatable recovery validation — no manual intervention.

- Audit-ready DR reporting

Your DR is now fully managed, continuously validated, and compliant by default.

How does Azure Site Recovery differ from standard backup?

Azure Site Recovery provides full workload replication and orchestration — enabling live failover, not just data restoration.

Can we use ASR for hybrid environments?

Yes. Deop supports replication from on-premises VMware or Hyper-V environments directly into Azure.

How is data secured during replication?

All replication traffic is encrypted in transit and at rest using Azure-managed or customer-managed keys (CMK).
