Common Sense Issues

Your business continuity plan will without doubt deal with coping with disasters such as fires, floods, etc. but does it take into consideration seemingly innocuous problems such as the following;

• Your internet connection has been temporarily disabled – does a fail-over line come into action restoring your connection?
• A hot drink is spilled over a lap-top – is the data recoverable from another source?
• An employee laptop is stolen – is the data securely protected?
• An employee logs into an admin area but fails to log out properly – is confidential data accessible to everyone?
• A significant number of your workforce are unable to come in to work due to illness – how does the business continue to operate
• A power cut occurs – how long will it be before the business can resume day-to-day operations?
