Almost a quarter of UK businesses suffer a significant IT failure each year. These events can range from hardware failure to natural or man-made disasters. They can result in significant downtime, or even loss of data and extreme inconvenience on customers and associated communities. This has a huge impact on critical business functions and an organisation’s reputation.
Business continuity planning provides the framework for ensuring that the essential functions of your business both survive and recover quickly from such disasters. It spans risk assessment of all IT-dependant critical business functions and identifies the technological requirements to mitigate risk.
