VTR IT develops, documents, and tests Business Continuity Plans for UAE enterprises. Cyberattack, power failure, data centre outage, pandemic, or natural disaster – your BCP determines whether you recover in hours or never.
Most UAE organisations have a BCP document but not a tested BCP programme. VTR IT builds both.
Identify every threat scenario that could disrupt your UAE business operations. Ranked by likelihood and impact – so your BCP prioritises the risks that matter most.
Quantify exactly what each hour of disruption costs your business – by system, by process, and by department. The BIA drives every recovery priority in your BCP.
For each critical system and process, VTR IT designs the specific recovery strategy – matching your RTO and RPO targets with practical, costed solutions.
VTR IT produces a complete, board-ready BCP document suite aligned to ISO 22301 and NESA IAS requirements – in Arabic and English.
An untested BCP is a false sense of security. NESA IAS requires annual testing evidence. VTR IT conducts tabletop exercises and live recovery tests.

Get BCP ProposalA Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a documented framework that defines how your organisation responds to and recovers from any disruptive incident – cyberattack, power outage, key staff absence, or natural disaster. UAE businesses need a BCP because NESA IAS requires it for federal and CNI entities, ISO 22301 certification requires it for many regulated industries, and practically speaking – 76% of UAE businesses without a tested BCP fail to meet their recovery targets after a major incident. A BCP is the difference between a recoverable incident and a business-ending one.
A Disaster Recovery (DR) plan covers the technical recovery of IT systems – restoring servers, databases, and applications after a failure. A Business Continuity Plan is broader – it covers how the entire business continues to operate during a disruption, including manual workarounds, communications, staff responsibilities, and customer management, not just IT recovery. VTR IT develops both, and most clients commission them together as a combined engagement. The DR plan sits as a technical annex inside the broader BCP document.
VTR IT BCP development costs in the UAE depend on organisation size and complexity. A BCP for a 50-100 person UAE business covering IT systems, key processes, and a tabletop exercise typically ranges from AED 35,000-75,000 as a fixed-fee engagement. Larger organisations with multiple sites or complex critical infrastructure requirements typically range from AED 80,000-200,000+. Annual BCP review and testing retainers are available from AED 18,000-45,000 per year. All pricing is in AED with a fixed quote issued after a discovery meeting.
Yes, when structured correctly. VTR IT’s BCP framework is aligned to NESA IAS Control Domain 14 (Business Continuity Management) requirements. The engagement produces the specific documentation artefacts required for NESA IAS compliance evidence – risk assessment, BIA, recovery procedures, test reports, and annual review records. For Dubai government entities, VTR IT also aligns BCP documentation to DESC ISR requirements.
VTR IT develops a complete BCP for a UAE SME in 6-10 weeks from project start to final document delivery, including the tabletop exercise. Week 1-2: Risk assessment and BIA workshops. Week 3-4: Recovery strategy design and approval. Week 5-6: BCP document production. Week 7-8: Tabletop exercise and test report. Weeks 9-10: Final revisions and delivery. Larger or more complex organisations may require 12-16 weeks. All timelines and deliverables are defined in the fixed AED project agreement before work begins.
