Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Planning
Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Planning are focused on two different aspects of protecting your business. BC Planning is primarily focused on maintaining critical business operations in the event of a minor or major disaster. DR Planning is primarily focused on recovering after the disaster has passed.
We feel strongly that a basic BC/DR Plan is an essential part of following good business practices. This applies to every business from a one person shop to a large corporation. A good basic BC/DR Plan will reduce risk and the losses in revenue when an event causes a business disruption. An event could be anything from the absence of a critical employee to equipment failures or acts of terrorism.
Secure Technology Group BC/DR services can help your business design, test, and document a plan that fits your organizations need, priorities and budget. Our approach starts with a Risk Analysis that includes reviewing internal, external, and environmental threats to the integrity of your business data. It also includes analyzing current security needs and status.
Starting with a Risk/Security Analysis allows us to understand the primary concerns, critical operations, and current IT Infrastructure. This information is essential in order to create a realistic and effective BC/DR Plan. It also gives us an opportunity to discuss all of these important issues with people managing the business. The other key components of a BC/DR plan are Business Impact Analysis, Communications, Backup Systems, System Redundancy, and Remote Access.
As you can see, creating a viable BC/DR Plan is a complex task that involves a series of important steps covering many disciplines. Once the plan is created it must then be tested, audited, and maintained to ensure that it remains appropriate to the needs of the organization.
In order to create the best BC/DR Plan, Secure Technology Group brings its years of experience in recommending the best products and services available
