UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING

What is a Business Continuity Strategy?

A business continuity strategy helps guide you, your employees and your business through a disaster. Procedures regarding preventative and recovery strategies are planned out before a tragedy hits so that everyone knows what to do until normal operations are restored.

Why Do You Need a Business Continuity Plan?

Since disasters can occur anywhere with little or no warning, it’s crucial that your company has a continuity plan in place. That way, in the unfortunate event that a disaster does occur, everyone will already know how to continue business until the building, your technology and all your important contents can be restored to full pre-loss conditions.
