Business continuity and resiliency planning is the process of creating systems to prevent, and recover from, potential threats to a company’s ability to operate. Hand-in-hand with Business Continuity is Disaster Recovery (DR). Without the ability to recovery from a disaster, and without the capability to continue operations during times of emergency, businesses may fail. While business continuity is not limited to technological issues, it is often the most critical piece. It is nearly impossible for modern business to function without the computer systems in place to continue operations. If your business is your livelihood, a comprehensive business continuity plan and disaster recovery plan should be in place.
