Disaster Recovery Planning
If you lost some or all of your system tomorrow, or if your entire premises were destroyed, how quickly could you be back in business? Our disaster recovery planning service creates and implements thorough plans to minimise disruption.
Disasters - from individual component failure to a complete systems, data or network loss - can damage a business in more ways than one. The resulting downtime can affect short-term turnover and profit, in addition to longer-term damage from the harm it does to your reputation among customers.
So without adequate backup procedures and other disaster recovery measures you are taking a huge risk. In many cases, you will also need a good disaster recovery plan to show to your own clients, especially if tendering for work from large organisations such as government agencies.
Assessing and mitigating the risks
The answer we provide is to help you anticipate each risk and address them through putting mitigation measures in place. Of course, where possible the best disaster planning is about prevention of incidents and so our planning process also includes work in this area.
If you already have procedures, we can audit and test them. We check that the backups are working and that your disaster recovery procedures really will restore your system.
A comprehensive DR planning service
Where you don’t have a disaster recovery plan in place, or where it isn’t adequate, we can design new procedures for your business. A good starting point is the correct backup frequency levels and off-site storage facilities. We can also advise on what hardware and software will meet your needs and implement the solution.
Hopefully you will never need to put the plan into place, but if you do then the activation process we design will make it happen. And to make sure the plan and the activation process are robust, we can arrange testing to ensure everyone is prepared.
Contact us now to arrange for an initial discussion of your disaster recovery needs and the suitability of your current processes.
