Understanding Business Continuity

Many businesses can come to a complete stop for a lack of business continuity planning. But what is business continuity and how can businesses ensure they have what they need to support it? Essentially, it is having a proven Plan B in case some type of crisis or other unforeseen event occurs that threatens to take down critical systems and processes. In some cases, even having a Plan C in place allows a business to carry on if its daily business activities are interrupted by an IT crisis.

Business Continuity Strategies for Disaster Recovery, Data Privacy, and Ethics 

Although it is usually standard practice for firms to have a business continuity plan in place and tested before launching a critical business information system, it is essential to remember that the same plan will not fit every organization. Aspects of one organization’s plan may be irrelevant to another organization. Therefore, it is critical to create business continuity strategies that are not only tailored to an individual organization, but versatile enough to prepare for multiple scenarios. Through these resources, you will explore business continuity strategies and how organizations plan for disaster recovery due to data breaches, unethical hacking, and natural disasters.
