Business continuity planning is one of the most critical components of any recovery strategy. From natural disasters such as flooding, to IT system failures, to cyber-attacks, you need to be sure everyone in your organisation would know what to do.

A common misconception is that if you have business insurance then you need do no more – insurance does not replace a business continuity strategy. Whilst it is necessary to have comprehensive cover, you should be aware of what is and is not covered under your policy.

If you haven’t got a plan, Dolphin can help you to prepare for an unexpected occurrence or disaster, plan how to avoid and mitigate risks associated with a disruption of operations and provide workable solutions in the event of disruption.

The Insurance Institute of Business & Home Safety carried out research which revealed that 25% of businesses do not reopen following a major event – having a professionally drawn up Business Continuity Plan will make your company less at risk of being one of the 25%.

A Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to enable minimum disruption from downtime caused by a natural disaster, as a result of technological failure or human factors such as sabotage or terrorism.

A disaster recovery plan should outline all of your current IT services, security provisions and locations covered as well as testing and maintenance activities.

Dolphin can do an onsite visit and help you to draw up a Disaster Recovery Plan that would be a workable solution should an unwanted event occur and provide solutions for any areas where you are lacking in ensuring your business can recover within a minimum time-frame.

Dolphin can come in after an IT disaster has occurred and work with you to find the quickest and most cost-effective way of getting you up and running again in the event that you either don't have a plan, or your plan has not worked.
