Reinforce your company’s continuity by securing your business operations and core functions, and making sure they’re not negatively affected by any incident which may disconnect your IT systems.
Get in touchYou’ve worked late hours, long days, unending months and years, and put your utmost effort into the company’s ongoing development. You’ve worked yourself to the bone, and struggled to create and maintain your brand’s reputation. Why put your brand at stake by neglecting your infrastructure’s security and recovery measures?
The risk of an unpredictable disaster is always imminent, and having the necessary recovery protocols implemented is imperative to ensure the ongoing success of your company.
Disaster can strike at any moment in time, and unpredictable scenarios can, and do take place. Poor recovery measures are the main reason underlying the closing down of businesses, and when the unexpected happens, you need to know how your company will get back on its feet, with as few negative implications as possible.
Also called a resiliency plan, a business continuity plan is a prevention and recovery road map created to safeguard the existence and reputation of a company, and to eradicate the possibility of complete annihilation.
This will ideally be created as early as possible in the company’s existence, and reviewed frequently, to maintain the company’s operations, or help it resume operations as quickly as possible.
The business continuity plan usually includes the following information:
Operations of the company
The plan will state the business’s processes, the services it provides, and its assets and personnel. It will determine how profits can still be made if the company suffers a disaster.
Possible risks
A business continuity plan will diagnose all the risks and threats which may affect the company’s operations. It will identify every possible scenario, from fire and flooding, cyber attacks and system failures, and the consequent steps the company needs to take to minimise the damage it will incur in case of any unexpected circumstances.
How these risks will affect the operations of the company
How will the company adapt to the new circumstances? How long will it take until all systems are back in operation?
The safety measures required to diminish the risk impacts
Personnel should be trained on how to handle any emergency which may arise, and the necessary backup solutions should be put into place. Starting anew is easier in this time and age, as companies are using web-based applications and cloud systems which can be accessed through any device.
A guarantee that the safety measures would actually work
Through ongoing testing and reviewing, the business continuity plan will always be up-to-date.
