Disaster Preparedness
Business Continuity Planning
With as much dependency that businesses have today on IT services, the most often overlooked item is disaster recovery (DR) planning and business continuity. Disaster in the digital workplace can come in many forms such as physical, environmental, accidental or criminal acts.
Physical disaster includes things such as fire or flood damage. Environmental disasters can include things such as hurricanes or earthquakes. Accidental disasters can be data deletion or data corruption. Criminal act disasters include things like terrorist attacks or ransomware. Additionally hardware failures can also be a form of disaster.
Disaster planning and preparedness consists of having plans that include offsite backups or colocation facilities that house replica data and servers. Another important aspect is the development of a playbook that has detailed step by step instructions on how to recover from a certain disaster, identifying key individuals and systems that the business requires to operate in a diminished capacity until full restoration can be obtained.
At JC IT PROS we can help you develop these strategies and produce a DR plan to fit any budget.
