How ready are you for a disaster striking your organisation?

When thinking about disaster recovery planning, we’d encourage any IT decision-makers to consider the following five questions as a means of gauging readiness:

• Do you have a disaster recovery plan in place to protect your business?
• Do you know how to test the integrity of your data recovery and, if yes, when did you last test it?
• Is your data backed up off-site in case an incident occurs?
• How long would it take your organisation to recover your systems?
• Do you know the true cost of the downtime associated with a disaster, in both lost productivity and reputational damage with your customers?

If you answer ‘no’ to any of these questions, then you should consider a managed disaster recovery service.
