Every business and organization can experience a serious incident which can prevent it from continuing normal operations. This this can happen any day at any time. The potential causes are many and varied: flood, explosion, computer malfunction, accident, grievious act... the list is endless.
Business continuity solutions is vital to business success. There are a number of regulatory measures that have one common element-they require contingency planning & continuity strategy by covered entities. They will help reduce both the risk and impact should the worst occur.
It is good practice for the organization's Board or Governing Body to demonstrate a clear commitment to establishing and maintaining an effective business continuity & disaster recovery planning process.
The Disaster Recovery Plan is the most important item in your armoury. It is what you will turn to if there is indeed a disaster or other serious incident.
Hopefully, you will never have to use it, but if you do, it can be the difference between the loss of your organisation and its survival. It is therefore absolutely critical that it is workable - that it is of sufficient quality to guide you through the crisis. Shortcuts here are sheer folly.
