Technology alone can't fix 95% of the problems businesses face today. One of the biggest risks faced by most companies is the vulnerability of their data and technology. While many businesses have some backup plan in place, very few have a complete continuity plan prepared to handle a breach, natural disaster, or loss of data in addition to PR implications. In many cases when a catastrophe hits, companies find themselves with an unacceptable amount of downtime – ultimately losing clients and revenue. Many business leaders are unaware of their disaster recovery plans and struggle with knowing the right questions to ask their technology team or IT provider. This is a vital conversation. Here are 5 questions that will help get you started on the right path to mitigating the risks of not being prepared:➀ Do we have a list of our key vendors easily accessible by management or leadership? ➁ Is the list current and accurate?➂ Do we have any known vulnerabilities that we are not addressing?➃ Have we defined our Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and are we meeting them? RPOs define how often are we taking snapshots of our information. ➄ Have we defined our Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and are we meeting them? RTOs define how long our company can be down before it begins to seriously impact business operations.If you do not receive an answer to any of these questions that give you the confidence that you are completely prepared with a business continuity plan, I invite you to have a conversation. Whether or not we work together, I am confident our call will be full of insights and actionable steps that can help you better prepare for data and technology disasters.☏ 817 966-4559 ✉ bchilders@comportcorp.com
