Workplace Recovery

When considering a Business Continuity Plan a company should first consider the cost of not having one in place.

How would an unscheduled interruption affect your business?

There are many unforeseen events that could render your business helpless:

  • fire of flood
  • damage to building
  • power or communications fail
  • virus attack or IT hardware failure
  • theft or malicious damage
  • restriction of access

Attempting to restart your business after such a disruption can, in some cases, take weeks, if not months. The impact from this generally results in one or more of the following situations:

  • staff sent home (on full pay)
  • loss of communications with clients and suppliers
  • inability to trade
  • potential loss of clients
  • unrecoverable damage to business

For your business to survive a serious disruption it is essential to re-establish the business-critical functions as quickly and effectively as possible.

Business Continuity – The benefits

  • Protect sensitive data including emails, client records and confidential correspondence.
  • Respond quickly to downtime and return to normal operations with a minimal effect on client service.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and standards, industry good practice and data protection and retention requirements.
  • Safeguard Service Level Agreements, reputation and customer confidence.
  • Stimulate new business opportunities with companies who require Business Continuity from suppliers.
