Contingency
Being prepared for the "what ifs"
Let’s face it, bad things happen, so let’s get a strategy, plan and established procedures in place to deal with the unexpected and minimise downtime and data loss; ensuring your business can continue to operate even in the face of adversity.
Planning

Frequently Asked Questions
A contingency plan is a big-picture strategy that helps businesses prepare for and respond to disruptions, whether it’s a cyberattack, power outage, or supply chain failure. A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is more IT-focused, outlining how to restore systems and data after an incident to minimize downtime and data loss. In short, contingency planning keeps your business running, while disaster recovery gets your IT systems back online.
Having a disaster recovery plan is great, but if it hasn’t been tested, how do you know it actually works? Best practice is to test at least once a year, or whenever major changes occur in your IT infrastructure. Running simulated disaster recovery drills helps identify weak points so your business can improve and ensure a smooth recovery when it really matters.
· A solid disaster recovery plan should include:
· Data backup & recovery procedures – So you can restore lost data quickly.
· Roles & responsibilities – So everyone knows who does what in an emergency.
· Testing & continuous improvement – Because a plan that’s never tested isn’t a plan, it’s a gamble and a big one.
Would your business survive a cyberattack or system failure? A strong disaster recovery plan makes all the difference.
