DISASTER RECOVERY Planning
THE THREAT LANDSCAPE
Disaster recovery is usually considered for protecting against a catastrophic event. Fire, floods and natural disasters are what usually come to mind.
While plans do need to be made for these threats, there are other threats that can hurt businesses just as badly. These include:
- Theft of IT hardware
- Server and IT hardware failure
- Hacking
- Malicious activity by employees
- Interruption of internet connectivity
And then there are viruses and malware. In the age of ransomware, an entire server, with all of your business’ key data, can be rendered useless in minutes.
Based on Akita’s experience, a business is far more likely to face one of these other threats than a catastrophic event.

THE DAMAGE OF DATA LOSS
The effect of losing business data is serious; over half of all businesses that experience major data loss close within two years.
Then there’s the GDPR dimension to consider. Organisations that lose personal data (through hacking or a malware attack, for example) are in breach of the regulation. Any breach must be reported to the ICO, and should they judge that data loss is through negligence, can lead to fines.
In some industries, having an effective disaster recovery plan is also a regulatory requirement. Companies that are found lacking can incur fines.
Often more damaging though is the impact on company reputation. Businesses can find it difficult to trade and attract new business. The cost of winning back customer trust may exceed the cost of recovery by some magnitude.
It is therefore vital to ensure that an appropriate disaster recovery plan is in place for your business.
