Module 5
Building Your Resilience Stack
Put it all together. Build a technology stack that you own, control, and can rely on — designed for resilience, not just convenience.
You have identified the risks, mapped your data, understood the costs, and learned how to migrate. Now it is time to put it all together into a technology stack that is built for resilience, not just convenience.
This final module helps you design and implement a complete, self-hosted infrastructure that you own, control, and can rely on — including the habits and routines that keep it secure long after the course is finished.
What this module covers
- Designing for resilience — the principles behind a technology stack that can absorb shocks, recover from failures, and keep your business running when things go wrong
- Your self-hosted toolkit — a curated selection of open-source tools for email, file storage, project management, communication, and more — with honest assessments of what works well and what requires technical confidence
- Backup and recovery that actually works — practical backup strategies that go beyond “we have a cloud backup” to include offline copies, tested restoration procedures, and disaster recovery planning
- Security as a daily habit — the small, repeatable actions that matter more than any expensive security product: password hygiene, update routines, access reviews, and phishing awareness
- Your 90-day sovereignty roadmap — a structured, week-by-week plan to implement everything you have learned, designed to be achievable alongside running your business
By the end of this module, you will have a working resilience stack and a clear roadmap for the next ninety days — giving you the confidence that your business technology is finally under your control.
