Business Continuity is a quick fit fitter.

I'm sure we've all heard the term Business Continuity but what do we really understand or know about it, let alone have a plan of action relating to it.

So first and foremost, what is it? Simply, if one of the wheels of your business falls off, a business continuity plan will ensure that the business can still get to the garage to have the wheel fixed back on.

If you don't have a Business Continuity plan, here are some pointers to get you started.

Risk Assessment:
1. What threats face us?
2. What risks do these impose on us?
3. What can we do to minimise (or eliminate) these risks?

Once you have answers to the above you can start to put plans in place to counter the threats.

With regard to data management and archiving, you need to have a planning process in place.
1. People, who backs up?
2. Where can we back up if we loose our facility?
3. How do we operate if the primary process is lost?
4. How secure is our data?
5. Where is our data held?
6. How quickly can our data be returned?

At Safebox we can help guide you through the data and document element of Business Continuity.

We are here to ensure that if you did loose a wheel, we have the jacks and the team to get you back and running with the minimum of disruption.
