The threat to your business is real.
Are your critical IT systems disaster ready?

Natural and Localized Disaster
From disasters as floods and earthquakes to incidents as common as office fires, faulty sprinkler equipment or a burst water pipe can all significantly disrupt your team’s ability to maintain the essential operations for running your business. Recovery from such incidents can take days and sometimes weeks depending on the severity of the damage.

Human Threats - accidents / sabotage
Human errors, whether accidental or intentionally malicious are the second largest cause of data loss and downtime. From accidental deletion of a file, corruption of an entire volume, to disgruntled employees intent on disrupting business, resuming normal operations can be complex, time consuming and most importantly – extremely costly.

Failure and corruption of IT Systems
The most common types of incidents are failures of IT hardware and software systems such as network, file server and software applications all of which can disrupt your team’s ability to conduct business operations. Depending on the complexity of the systems involved, recovery can take das or even weeks with hardware procurement lead times, restoring from backup and resuming normal operations.

Cyber threats
Cisco’s 2018 SMB Security survey found that over 53% SMBs experienced a security breach in 2018. 40% these attacks disrupted more than half of the organizations entire IT system estate and led to over 8 hours of down time. Nothing represents a more disruptive threat to business data than cybercrime – and a BCDR strategy can significantly limit the downtime resulting from a breach.
Could your business survive a disaster?
Here’s why most business are still unprepared
We have a reliable backup process in place
A reliable local backup is a great first step to protecting your business’s most valuable assets but leaves your data vulnerable to local disasters such as office flooding or fires and does little to protect your data from human incidents and cyberthreats that cause data loss.
Disaster Recovery is only for major outages or business prone to natural disasters
Office fires, water leaks, equipment failure and cybersecurity threats such as malware and ransomware can all lead to systems going offline for. Recovering from backup can take days and sometimes weeks when factoring in securing a site, securing replacement hardware, rebuilding machines and restoring from backup. Delays which can mean your Business downtime is expensive.
BCDR solutions are expensive and geared to support large enterprises
Cloud based Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) are cost effective and makes it easy to replicate data to multiple locations and get your business up and running faster in the event of an interruption. They represent only a fraction of the cost of productivity, revenue and reputational loss caused by downtime.

Define RTO & RPO Objectives
Identify, evaluate, and select high availability and disaster recovery solutions suitable for Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
Define Critical Data And System Requirements
Ensure critical data off-site backup and storage, retrieval, and management requirements are met.
Identify Potential Threats & Vulnerabilities
Conduct a risk assessment and Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to determine threats, vulnerabilities, impacts of disruption to IT infrastructure and business operations and IT and telecommunications recovery time frames, priorities, and resource requirements.
Assemble and train the appropriate BCDR team
