Preparation prevents panic

The businesses that stay calm and bounce back during disruptions usually have a few things in common:
• A documented recovery plan
• Clearly assigned responsibilities
• Tested backups
• Defined communication procedures
• Recovery processes that employees understand

When everyone is on the same page about recovery, confusion has no chance to spread.

Message us to find out if your team has what it needs to stay calm when it counts.

Sometimes disruptions send invites

Some invites should never be opened.

Not every disruption arrives with a warning. Some show up disguised as an email. Others arrive as a server failure, power outage or ransomware attack.

The six most common "unwanted invitations" businesses face are:
• Cyberattacks and ransomware
• Hardware and software failures
• Human error
• Internet or cloud service outages
• Severe weather and natural disasters
• Key employee unavailability
The question isn't whether one of these will affect your business. It's whether you'll be ready when it does.

6 things every incident response plan needs

A flight attendant doesn’t wait for an emergency to explain how to use the life vest.

That’s the point of an incident response plan. When something goes wrong, your team should already know who’s in charge, who to contact, what to recover first and how to communicate clearly.

Here are the six things every plan should include:
• Roles and responsibilities
• Emergency contact information
• Communication procedures
• Critical systems and recovery priorities
• Recovery procedures
• A testing and review schedule
