How ARC secures your IT environment Our managed emergency environment ARC (Azure Resilient Core) maintains an isolated Azure recovery infrastructure that can be activated within minutes when a major incident is declared. ARC grants secure access for designated responders via Windows 365 Workstations , hardened to CIS benchmarks and protected by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Preconfigured Teams channels, distribution lists, and access policies enable immediate coordination with the crisis team, management, and key partners. Business-critical documents, escalation paths, contact directories, communication templates and credentials (including password managers and break-glass accounts) are readily available. ARC orchestrates the restoration of prioritized services in the correct order, aligned to agreed RTO/RPO targets. The platform is set up in code (IaC), enabling consistent quality and fast, transparent provisioning. From the first signal, Microsoft Defender XDR and a 24/7 SOC provide continuous monitoring; email, productivity tools, clients, and servers remain protected throughout the event. Azure Log Analytics captures administrative and user actions to provide a complete audit trail. Our IT emergency solution is complemented by regular recovery exercises to validate plans, backups, and handovers under time pressure, and by configuring Azure Backup to secure ongoing operations.
