Why faster recovery protects revenue, compliance, and trust
When incidents hit an Umbraco platform, resolution speed is what matters most. Rapid incident resolution reduces downtime, safeguards compliance, and keeps customer confidence intact. For enterprises, every hour saved directly translates into financial protection and operational resilience.
Leaders ask:
- What’s the cost of delaying incident resolution by hours instead of minutes?
- How do SLAs guarantee faster recovery in practice?
- What evidence do regulators expect on incident resolution?
- How does rapid resolution reduce long-term IT costs?

Definition
Rapid incident resolution is the ability to restore normal service quickly following an unplanned interruption. It is measured by MTTR (Mean Time to Resolve), with enterprise-grade SLAs committing to strict recovery times (Source: ITIL 4 Incident Management, AXELOS).
Why it matters
Delays in resolution create direct business risk:
- Financial losses – IT downtime costs an average of $5,600 per minute (Source: Gartner – The Cost of Downtime).
- Compliance exposure – FCA and GDPR require evidence of service continuity and recovery controls (FCA – Operational Resilience).
- Reputation damage – 70% of consumers leave brands after poor digital experiences (PwC Consumer Intelligence Series).
