What is business continuity?
Look up business continuity online, and you will be overwhelmed by a plethora of definitions using terms that are designed to shock. ‘Critical’, ‘disaster’, ‘fire’, ‘recovery’, ‘incident’, ‘cyber-attack’,’ flood’ and ‘dangers’ are just some of the words you will be confronted with on the home page of Google when searching for “IT and business continuity.”
While this is alarmist, this is what can happen when you don’t plan for business continuity at an IT level. Sadly for many local businesses here in Geelong, these words only come to mind when it is too late. Regardless of what incident has the potential to cause you pain, if you are prepared for such an event or incident, then the pain will be minimal if at all. Your customers will be none the wiser and business continues as per usual.
Business continuity is your ability as an organisation to continue functioning relatively unabated should a critical incident happen to your Information Technology (IT) systems. Business continuity is about;
- Planning
- Reliability
- Process / instruction
- Backups
- Restoration
- Peace of mind
- Confidence
When it comes to business continuity, you need to rely on the three core elements
- People
- Process
- IT technology
