Good Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plans will keep your company up and running through interruptions of any kind: power failures, software crashes, natural disasters, and more. Are you prepared?
Prevention
Unfortunately, we can’t stop disasters from occurring. With proper planning and preparation, we can prevent the external disaster from becoming an internal one. There are many things that need consideration when this happens as your personnel, data, equipment, and business’ reputation all need to be protected.
Planning
Start by identifying each disaster category: Power Failure, Hacking, Data Loss, Personnel breach and identify the loss that would occur in each circumstance. Power outage? Are all your computers set-up with battery back-ups until the power is back up? If you're overwhelmed when identifying these items, contact your Consys Group Account Representative who can guide you through the process.
Preparation
Identify the key players for each scenario and keep the process documented in multiple locations. This will be your point of reference in case of a disaster. In addition, make a note to review the plan periodically to ensure all equipment, employees and contacts are current in your recovery plan.
