It's a known fact that nothing in this universe is permanent and disaster-proof. Everything is in the process of constant wear and tear and at the risk of facing uncalled disasters, and so is your business IT backbone. Small to medium sized businesses are one of the biggest victims here, due to the lack of expertise, capital and the framework to set up a highly resilient IT infrastructure which can withstand the toughest of calamities, and still revert back to its optimal state, with minimum downtime and ramifications to your business. Business Continuity Planning is an utmost requirement to safeguard your IT business assets and data, so that you could safely mitigate such catastrophic situation.
When a disaster strikes, it could be in the form of a natural disaster, blackout, virus or malware attack, or simply hardware malfunction, which could severely cripple your business operations. Data loss and downtime further adds damage to any small to medium business, causing nothing but hours of unproductive workforce and loss of crucial corporate data.
