From HERO to ZERO
If you are responsible for your organization's business data, then there is no faster way to go from HERO to ZERO than to be unable to recover from a data loss event. That "event" might be caused by fire, water, weather, cyberattack or hardware failure. With cyber-attacks becoming increasingly common, the likelihood that your organization will experience a data loss event is growing exponentially.
Let us help you develop a robust Disaster Recovery Program that will help protect both your business and your career.
There are many solutions to consider. We can help you implement one that is affordable, resilient against cyberattacks, and able to help you QUICKLY recover in the event of a data loss event. We will help you identify your critical data repositories, as well as services that need to be available for your company to profitably operate. We will also help you develop the disaster recovery plan as well as recovery testing procedures so that you can be confident that the data you are protecting is available when you need it.
It is simply too late to try and prepare a disaster recovery plan after a data loss event. Every day your organization operates without a robust disaster recovery plan is another day where both your company and your career are at risk. If you are not 100% confident that your organization would be able to recover from a data loss event, then the time to prepare is right now.

5 Easy Things You Should Do Now To Protect Your Business
Let’s face it: no one likes to think about bad things happening to them, much less plan for them. But we want to give you a quick “brush-up” on some simple things you can (and should!) be doing to protect your business.
- Secure Your Data. Making sure that your data is protected from destruction and exfiltration is a never-ending battle that you cannot afford to lose. Companies that get hacked and expose sensitive client and employee data face severe penalties, lawsuits and massive loss of credibility in the marketplace. Make sure you never have to send an e-mail to your customers explaining the bad news that a hacker accessed their sensitive info through your network. Further, if you keep sensitive information (even passwords to portals containing sensitive information) on portable laptops, phones and other devices, make sure you have a way of controlling and safeguarding that information.
- Review Your Business Insurance Carefully. Most businesses carry some type of general liability insurance that would pay them if their building and the things in it were damaged. However, many businesses do not have comprehensive cyber-liability insurance, or the limits on that policy are too low to compensate for the total cost of recovering from a disaster. As a result, many insurance policies will either fail to cover the most likely cause of a disaster today, a cyber-attack, or there are exclusions that make the policy inert when a company must respond to the most common attack techniques. Make sure you carry sufficient cyber-liability coverage, and that the policy is well written with no major exclusions.
- Consider Hybrid Cloud Computing. One of the biggest advantages of cloud computing is that your data and assets are stored off-site in a highly secure, high-availability data center, with failover and redundancy built in. You do not need to run everything in the cloud for you to take advantage of these protections. For a reasonable monthly fee, you can simply keep an up-to-date copy of your servers in their facilities. Then, if you experience a cyberattack, or your building is destroyed, or a critical server experiences a catastrophic hardware failure, everything you have worked so hard to create over the years is safely stored in an offsite location simply waiting to be activated by your team.
- Start With A Simple Disaster Recovery Plan. The key word here is “simple.” If your plan gets too complicated or difficult, you will not do it. But at a minimum, think of the disaster that is most likely to happen and that would have a severe and negative impact on your company’s survival.
- Review Your Employee Technology Usage Policy. It is critical that your company have a policy that sets limits on what staff may and may not do while working with and on your corporation’s technology resources. Without such a policy in place you may find the company becomes liable when employees behave inappropriately while using company assets.
