Our process is based on a structured methodology, which utilizes both the unique RecoverGuard technology and the know-how of the Continuity Software experts to provide an exceptional solution. The stages of the DPRA service are:

	Data Collection: Using the proprietary RecoverGuard Data Collection engine, Continuity Software uses its agentless technology to automatically investigate your IT environment and Data Protection configuration and to collect information about IT assets, business applications, configuration, current SLA and additional customer-specific policies. The data collection process is run on both production and Disaster Recovery IT environments in order to collect data about both.
	Dependency and Correlation: Using the RecoverGuard Dependency engine, we automatically detect production IT assets and their protection pairs in the Disaster Recovery configuration. The RecoverGuard technology understands the relationships between both physical and logical IT assets and their de-facto protection status.
	Risk Detection: Using the proprietary RecoverGuard Gap Detection engine, we scan the collected data and compare it with a database containing hundreds of data gaps and best practices signatures, to identify potential problems in the IT environment. In addition, at this stage RecoverGuard scans for customer-specific Data Protection policy violations to detect any policy compliance violations.
	Risk Analysis: Continuity Software experts review the information gathered and the risk detection results, to assess their impact on your overall Data Protection and Business Continuity reliability. At this stage, the RecoverGuard technology suggests the priority and remediation approach for handling each detected risk.
	Reporting: The result of this assessment process is a set of detailed descriptive reports, including the Data Protection overview and status, risk analysis report, and best practices and recommendations. To learn more, please contact us to get a sample of the reports.
