This is Why You Need an IT Contingency Plan

Prepare for the Worst with Risk Analysis

Disaster can strike at any time – and when given the chance, it often chooses the most inconvenient moment. By taking the proper steps, you can mitigate risk and keep your business running smoothly during damage control. Here’s how to best prepare for the worst – and what we recommend should the worst occur.

• Hardware Crashes

  The older the hardware, the more likely the hardware is to fail – and inevitably cause data loss. Whether it’s been one year, five years, or *gasp* more since your last major hardware update, know that keeping your hardware current will save you money in the long run.

• System Outages

  In addition to hardware, software and data centers can also crash unexpectedly – leaving your business scrambling if you’re without a contingency plan.

• Data Breaches

  As we discussed in a recent blog post, cyberattacks happen – and they happen often. In 2019, 1,473 data breaches exposed more than 68 million sensitive records. Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent, and they don’t discriminate based on company size.

• Human Error

  One 2018 study named employee negligence the single biggest risk to US businesses – and added that remote workers pose an increased risk, which is a bigger problem now than ever as millions of Americans must work from home.

• Natural Disasters

  Natural disasters may be out of your control, but having a contingency plan in place means you’ve got options.
