Is your business prepared for an emergency or disaster?
To prevent the spread of the virus, many businesses are having their employees work from home: This doesn’t come without risk!
This video explains how implementing a disaster recovery strategy allows an organization to quickly maintain or resume critical functions after an interruption and how to work remotely securely.
Whether it is a natural disaster, such as an ice storm, or a serious accident in an industrial installation, a pandemic …any business may one day have to face unforeseen events likely to disrupt its operation.
Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and large business leaders need to be concerned with their business continuity plans.
Why you should be concerned too?
Because the risks of business interruption are everywhere and multiply as technologies and interdependencies between industries evolve.
Basically, planning for business continuity is preparing for the worst. It’s about developing an emergency procedure – something that some business owners sometimes overlook.
TAKE STOCK OF YOUR RISKS AND RESOURCES!
It is difficult to anticipate the pitfalls that you may have to overcome, but it is a good exercise to do to prepare for an effective and targeted response to an incident. Of course, you must also take into account the particular aspects of your business. Indeed, creating a business continuity plan for your small business will require taking a different approach from that which you would favor for a large business. Think about the resources you have and how you can best use them if a sudden event threatens to cripple your business
