Disaster Recovery

Is your business equipped to withstand a disaster?

Do you possess a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan?

Or are you gambling with your business continuity, leaving it to chance and the whims of fate?

According to a report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), approximately 40% to 60% of businesses fail to reopen after experiencing a disaster. Even among those that do reopen, 25% end up closing within the subsequent year. The odds improve for those able to resume operations within five days. Are you adequately prepared?

The IT onboarding process with us generally comprises five key components:

Server Failures

Fires

Illness Outbreaks

Additionally, businesses must safeguard against cyber threats, such as viruses, intrusions, data breaches, and ransomware. Natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes further compound the list of potential calamities.

It's a stark reality that even businesses situated in seemingly safe locations, like Indiana, remain vulnerable to various disasters on any given day.

Protect Your Business

Initiate a robust system security protocol to safeguard your business against potential threats. By integrating security measures into both hardware and software applications, you significantly reduce the likelihood of successful intrusions, providing a sense of security and assurance.

Continuous monitoring and maintenance are imperative to ensuring the efficacy of your security measures. Managed Security services guarantee that all your defenses remain updated and operational.

Safeguard Critical Systems and Data with Backups

While experiencing a disaster is profoundly unsettling on a personal level, the ramifications extend beyond individual upheaval. For businesses, the loss of essential data and operational capabilities presents a significant challenge. While hardware can be replaced, data loss poses a far greater threat.

Protecting Critical Systems

Regular and automated backups of IT systems and data serve as the most critical safeguard against potential losses. However, merely creating backups is insufficient. It's imperative to regularly monitor and test backups to identify and address any issues—such as corrupt data or application errors—prior to a disaster.
 
The traditional method of creating backups and storing physical copies offsite is antiquated in today's digital landscape. Cloud-based storage solutions offer a secure and accessible alternative. At Insight Tech Advisors, we prioritize Cloud Services and Managed Security, emphasizing layered security measures and always maintaining a contingency plan.

Prepare with a Disaster Recovery Plan

Following a disaster, the most invaluable asset your business can possess is a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan. This plan should encompass all facets of the business, from ensuring the safety of personnel to safeguarding critical records and establishing IT redundancy measures.

The aftermath of a disaster underscores the importance of preemptive measures taken to safeguard and recover your IT infrastructure. Knowing that your IT systems and data are safeguarded and recoverable provides reassurance during challenging times.
