How resilient is your business?
Ask yourself, what are the main hazards faced by your business and what impact could they have? The hints below are taken from the Gov.uk website and our own experience!
- Assess your current risks: The government recommend you look at your current situation with regard to security; fire prevention; services including power, phone lines, & broadband; IT equipment; and insurance.
- Identify what is business critical: What can you not operate without in terms of business data, equipment, communications, minimum staff numbers, premises etc.?
- How long can you afford to be 'in recovery' for?: How quickly do you need to be back at full capacity? Identify the stages between disaster and normal operational capacity and the maximum time frame each stage would have.
- Who is responsible for recovery: Identify the key members of the team that will implement the stages of the Recovery Plan.
- Test your Recovery Plan: Your team need to be confident enough with the plan to deliver it under pressure. We routinely test all our offsite data back-ups for our customers to ensure we can complete a full data restore the same working day, where they to lose everything.
We are happy to share our experience and chat through any concerns you have. Getting your business back on its feet, whether you're big or small, after a blow is what we are here to do.

THE HITCHMAN STONE PARTNERSHIP

This was not the case with Emerald. Emerald are now our trusted partner for all of our IT support needs. They offer honest, impartial advice that is delivered in a language even the novice can understand.
Having one number that our team can call with any IT or telephone concerns makes such a difference, especially when this is backed up with prompt resolution."
