BCDR vs. Backup: What’s the Difference for Your Business?
A strong business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan keeps your business moving when the unexpected happens, whether it’s a cyberattack, system failure, or natural disaster. But here’s the reality: most plans overlook at least one critical area.
Those blind spots can cause delays, data loss, or costly downtime right when you need your plan to work hardest.
That’s why we take a holistic approach with our clients, making sure your BCDR strategy isn’t just a document on the shelf but a tested, living plan that stands up in a crisis.
In our latest blog, we cover:
-
Common gaps found in BCDR plans
-
How to identify weak points in your own strategy
-
Steps to strengthen your resilience and minimise downtime
