IT controls

If a disaster strikes and your IT facilities are severely affected it is imperative that you are back up and running as soon as possible in order to minimise the damage to your business.

The following points need to be taking into consideration:

• If the site of the disaster is inaccessible you need to have a temporary site which you can relocate to and operate from, it is imperative that you return to normality as quickly as possible.
  
• You need be able to access your company data which needs to be as up-to-date as possible.
  
• If your servers have been affected, you will need back-up servers that automatically take over from the redundant server.
  
• If your internet connection has been disabled, a fail-over line will need to take over.
