Bastion Plan

AI-generated disaster recovery plans in hours, not weeks.

Manual DR plan writing takes a skilled person 3–5 days. BastionIQ's AI wizard produces a structured, framework-aligned plan in under 2 hours, one your auditor, insurer, or ISO assessor will recognise.

The problem

Writing a DR plan from scratch is a specialist skill most IT teams don't have time for.

A consultant DR plan engagement costs £2,400–£7,500 (3–5 days at £800–£1,500/day) and produces a document that's often stale within months. Teams who write plans themselves spend days in spreadsheets and Word documents, and end up with something their auditor doesn't recognise as aligned to any framework.

BastionIQ replaces that process with an AI-guided wizard that asks the right questions, pre-fills from your infrastructure register, and generates a plan your assessor will actually work from.

How it works

Four steps from systems to signed-off plan

01

Tell us about your systems

BastionIQ's AI-guided wizard pre-fills from your infrastructure register, then asks about your team, priorities and recovery approach.

02

Define your recovery priorities

Confirm recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) targets and dependencies. The runbook wizard flags dependency and RTO issues before it generates anything.

03

Choose your framework

Select the framework your plan needs to align to: ISO 22301, NIST CSF, NIS2, Cyber Essentials, GDPR Art.32, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI DSS. The plan is structured accordingly.

04

Review and export

BastionIQ generates a structured plan ready for review. Edit it and export to PDF. Plans stay linked to your infrastructure register and show which systems have changed since the plan was generated.

Plan Builder
Capabilities

What the plan builder includes

Four plan types

Disaster Recovery, Incident Response, Runbook and Business Strategy plans, all generated from the same infrastructure context. Crisis communications are drafted inside Incident Command.

Framework alignment

ISO 22301, NIST CSF, NIS2, Cyber Essentials, GDPR Art.32, ISO 27001, NCSC CAF, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and more. The AI structures the plan to match the language your auditor expects.

AI discovery mode

Prefer a conversation to a form? BastionIQ's conversational AI mode asks questions and extracts the information it needs through natural dialogue, which is faster for teams who know their setup well.

Linked infrastructure register

Wizards pre-fill from your actual infrastructure inventory rather than generic templates, and each plan shows which linked infrastructure has changed since it was generated.

Review scheduling

Set a review date and BastionIQ emails reminders when a plan is due, so you're never presenting a stale document to an auditor.

Export and evidence pack

Export plans as PDF for distribution or audit submission. Generate a timestamped evidence pack showing plan history, exercise records, and assessment results in one document.
