Business Continuity in Chicago

Business Continuity Planning

 The destruction and clean up in the aftermath of storms such as Hurricane Sandy reinforce the concept that businesses should have continuity plans in place. In addition to natural disasters, the plan should incorporate policies for overcoming man-made interruptions caused by fire, water leaks, equipment failure and the loss of key personnel. Disaster recovery planning should be tailored to your specific organization so you know exactly what to do to get your business up and running again as quickly as possible after a disaster strikes. Key personnel need to be identified as leaders to guide the recovery. The plan should designate each person’s area of responsibility including information technology.

Because so many businesses and organization rely heavily on technology and its infrastructure, another major component of these plans is to keep data safe and secure. The plan should ensure that sensitive and critical information is automatically backed up and stored in a safe offsite location so it can be retrieved when needed without the loss of any data. The plan should also include proactive steps, such as regular monitoring and testing, to ensure its reliability in case of an emergency. This will help to ensure that employees can communicate within the organization as well as with customers and vendors as needed.
