Business Continuity (BC) 

While technology makes you competitive and improves the customer experience, its complexity also increases vulnerability.

Business continuity planning is an essential aspect of any organization’s risk management strategy.

It refers to the process of identifying potential threats to a business’s operations and developing strategies to ensure that essential functions can continue in the event of a disruption. The goal of business continuity planning is to minimize the impact of unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, or equipment failures, on a company’s operations, reputation, and revenue.

By having a comprehensive plan in place, businesses can quickly respond to disruptions and ensure that their employees, customers, and partners are informed and taken care of. In addition, a well-designed plan can help organizations to comply with regulatory requirements, protect their reputation, and gain a competitive advantage in the market.

If your employee laptops are critical components of your everyday business, then they should be a central component of your BC plan. Does everyone bring them home every day? Did you remember this when you ordered all new computers 5 years later and they weren’t laptops? Is anyone updating the BC plan regularly? Onward has the expertise and experience to help you plan for any outcome.

      A plan much broader than IT,
      We create a plan that prioritizes assets and can include items like passwords, phone tree, non-technical contact methods, in case email is down.
