The ability to create solutions to problems before they
exist will keep you miles ahead of the game when disaster strikes. Try to think
outside the box when it comes to identifying disastrous situations that could
occur. If it can go wrong, it will. Being over cautious and paranoid about the
minutest of errors that may arise will help to keep you in control of your business. Even the
smallest unintended consequences can cause serious damage. Constantly asking
yourself ‘what if?’ will allow you to get a real handle on these issues.
To help inspire you to think of possible issues that could
occur and get the clogs working here are a few pointers to consider:
- Network outages
- Cyber attacks
- Employee sabotage
- Viruses
- Sudden loss of internet services
- Malfunctioning equipment
- Potential accidents
- Knowledge gap of staff because of the speed of developing technology
- Natural disasters –consider all!
Once all potential problems have been identified and logged,
it’s time to create strategies which will overcome each of them. A good disaster recovery plan will cover all
possible natural and man-made issues along with solutions to defeat them, and will
act as an information insurance policy for businesses to get back on its feet
quickly after any disaster occurs.
For seven simple steps on how to create a successful disaster recovery plan view this short guide.
Remember: with disaster recovery planning there is no such thing as being over-cautious.
