It’s the last thing you want to think about as a business owner/executive but like any good insurance policy is pivotal to returning to business as usual – what happens in the event of partial or total business disruption? Whether it’s caused by a natural disaster, or through some form of human activity, Disaster Recovery (DR) – the process an organisation uses to recover access to critical software, data and hardware needed to resume the performance of critical business functions – forms a key part of a business’ reputation, brand and overall growth strategy. Critical to any DR activity is a solid Business Continuity Plan (BCP). This includes a collection of the organisation's responses to certain predefined catastrophic scenarios; scenarios which include flooding, fire, epidemic, earth quakes, strikes, riots, and cyber attacks, to name a few. These plans include the fall back processes, redundant systems strategies, and overall business behaviour of all organisational assets including IT, internal staff, business processes, office facilities, partners, customers and communications.
Most organisations are not fully prepared for significant disruptions to ongoing operations.
Reveal Consulting Group can help: we can work with you to identify and create a considered BCP. We do this by using a risk-based approach to validate key business risks and a corresponding impact analysis and critical responses required to ensure your organisation returns to normal operations.
