Recovery planning for when the custodian is the problem.

Nemean provides the recovery route when key holders disappear, infrastructure fails, or a custodian can no longer execute its role. Pre-agreed workflows. Independent infrastructure. No dependency on the failed platform.

Disaster Recovery

What is institutional disaster recovery for digital assets?

Disaster recovery for digital assets is a pre-positioned, legally structured arrangement between an institution, its custodian, and an independent third party. When access is lost through key-holder loss, provider failure, or operational lockout, the third party activates a pre-agreed recovery workflow to restore access without requiring the failed platform to remain operational. Nemean operates under a tri-party agreement and holds recovery material in independent air-gapped vaults.

Key-holder loss

Named authority unavailable

Provider failure

Custodian outage or insolvency

Operational lockout

Access path disrupted

High Assurance

Every engagement operates under a tri-party agreement, a legally documented arrangement between your institution, your custodian, and Nemean. Procedures are designed to satisfy regulated governance flows and produce an auditable record of every action taken.

Fast Activation

Escalation criteria, authorisation thresholds, and activation triggers are agreed before any incident occurs. When an event happens, Nemean operates to a pre-agreed workflow, no ambiguity, no negotiation under pressure.

Provider Independence

Nemean holds recovery material in its own air-gapped infrastructure. Recovery does not require the failed platform to be online, cooperative, or solvent. The recovery path exists independently of the platform that failed.

Failover Paths

Two recovery routes. One operating principle.

Vector // 01

Key Return

For key-holder loss, credential failure, or MPC governance breakdown where access needs to be restored without migrating to a new platform.

Operational Workflow

01

Authorisation trigger

Pre-registered approved users initiate recovery through identity-verified activation. Liveness checks confirm authority before any action is taken.

02

Shard retrieval

Recovery fragments are retrieved from air-gapped storage under dual-staff supervision and applied to restore the access threshold.

03

Access restored

Keys are returned to the institution's operational environment. A full written audit record is produced.
