I've seen people lose everything to ransomware
Now I spend my time making sure it doesn't happen to you
They had protection.
Antivirus.
Firewalls.
Even a decent IPS.
But a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
And with the sprawl of our tech footprint constantly increasing, the chain has never been longer, or more vulnerable.
Since moving into BCDR, I’ve realized something grim
That kind of catastrophe?
It’s not rare. It’s not random.
It’s daily - and it’s accelerating.
We’re seeing threats evolve faster than defenses.
- Continuous, large-scale data breaches- AI-powered phishing that fools experienced remote workers- Cloud misconfigurations leaking customer data- Ransomware-as-a-Service kits spreading like wildfireIt only takes one weak link.
Everything else comes down with it.
It’s not if
It’s when
You’re going to get hitmalware, mistake, or zero-day
The only question is:
Will you recover?
Everyone obsesses over preventionVery few prepare for
recovery
Most orgs buy EDR, firewalls, and spam filters...But when something still gets through?
Backups?
Untested
RPO?
Missed
Data?
Unrecoverable
Customer
Trust?
LOST
And by the time they realize it...
It's too late.
I've been asked what makes me perfectly suited for BCDR...
Is it my experience?My technical adaptability?
Not at all...
It's my paranoia
I treat worst-case scenarios like they already happened.Then I build backwards from them.Everything else?Already covered.I don’t build “nice-to-have” systems.I build lifeboats
If your worst case scenario...
Is your first case scenario?
Then there's nothing to worry about

What Makes FailSafe North Texas different?
01
PROVEN
I have years in this field and have worked on the front lines assisting with ransomware recovery. I know what mistakes are commonly made that make recovery a nightmare, and how to prevent them from taking place.
02
ADAPTABLE
I've worked with customers large and small. From billion dollar businesses to private citizens who just wanted to make sure that their digital life was secured in the event of an emergency.
03
VENDOR AGNOSTIC
I'm familiar with a wide range of vendor products, and regardless of what you choose to use to keep your data safe, I can configure it to provide you with a balance of efficiency and safety.
04
CUSTOMIZED
I'll provide custom tailored documentation for your BCDR pipeline from file-level restore to full environmental rebuilds. I can also teach in office courses on general online safety. As stated, you're only as strong as you're weakest link, and that weak link could be an employee just a tad unfamiliar with current email scams.
05
QUALITY
While the creation of a full BCDR framework typically takes a month of observation, I'll work until it's done. Once I've quoted you a price, that's where it stays regardless of where the rabbithole goes.
06
RELATIONAL
You’re not a number, and neither am I. We’ll get to know each other as I get to know your company. You shouldn't have to dread working with someone regardless of their capability, and I take great pride in treating all my clients with respect. I communicate clearly, set timelines, and surpass expectations.
But do I really need this service?
I can understand the hesitancy, and in times like this every penny saved is important.
But ask yourself this...
What happens if your systems go down - even for a few hours?If you're a small or mid-sized business, downtime is more than just frustrating, it's MONEY. One missed invoice run, one client who can't access their files, and the ripple effects can stretch for months. The loss of trust can stretch even farther than that. You need to know your recovery plan won’t crumble under pressure.
Does your team actually know how to recover your data?IT departments are overloaded. Backups are often assumed, untested, or undocumented. I work alongside your team to validate those assumptions, document the process, and make sure it works when you need it most, not just when you demo it for the board.
How long would it really take to get back online?
It’s one thing to say “we have backups.” It’s another to know your RTO (Recovery Time Objective) down to the hour. I help you answer the question that matters most: how long until you're functional again?
Is your recovery plan built for reality — or for paperwork?
Passing an audit is one thing. Recovering under fire is another. I help you go beyond checkbox compliance and build recovery workflows that perform under pressure - not just in documentation.
Have you already been burned once?
Many of my clients come to me after a close call — or a full-on disaster. The recovery took too long. The backup was corrupted. The finger-pointing started. If you're reading this with that tight feeling in your chest, you're exactly who this service is for.
