"Do you work with our existing backup tools?"

"Where sensible we will build on what you already have; if tools are unsuitable we’ll recommend alternatives."

"How often do you test backups?"

"We agree a testing schedule with you—often quarterly for critical systems and at least annually for full DR tests."

"Can this help with cyber insurance requirements?"

"Yes, a robust continuity and DR posture is often a key requirement for obtaining or renewing cyber insurance."

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

We know you have questions. We have
answers to some of them.

Do you provide fixed quotes?

Yes. For clearly defined pieces of work we can provide a fixed quote up front, so you have certainty on cost before we start. For more open-ended engagements we'll agree an estimate range and keep you updated as we progress.

What is your minimum and how do you round time?

The minimum billing is one hour. Time is rounded to the nearest fifteen minutes.

What counts as billable time?

Billable time includes any work we do on your behalf: investigation, implementation, configuration, documentation, meetings, and coordination with third parties. We don't bill for general sales conversations or high-level scoping before you've approved work.

How is the estimate tolerance set?

For each scoped piece of work we'll agree an estimate with a tolerance band (for example ±20%) based on the information available at the time. If we discover material changes or risks that could move us outside that band, we'll flag it early and re-confirm scope and budget with you before proceeding.

Optizap gave us clarity on what we had, what was at risk, and a realistic plan to fix it. Roadmaps and reviews mean IT is now part of our planning, not an afterthought.

Having a virtual IT director means one accountable owner for vendors, projects and budgets. We finally have a joined‑up view of technology and risk.

Backups, continuity and access controls used to be a worry. Now we have evidence, tests and documentation that stand up to scrutiny from auditors and insurers.
