Any serious incident with the potential to prevent or interfere with normal business operations requires a plan to ensure damage is either prevented entirely – or at least minimized. Business Continuity Planning is a methodology used to define a disaster recovery plan that protects, maintains or restores critical business functions, data and assets during a serious failure, attack or disruption.

In the event of a flood or explosion, serious computer or technology malfunction or information security incident, the directors and management teams are responsible for the organization’s ability to recover in the fastest possible time. Employees, customers, suppliers and your own business operations and its bottom line are at stake. Needless to say, no matter how experienced the team or established the business, this is no time to “wing it”.
