Why is an IT Disaster Recovery provision important?
Simply because IT systems are so important to most businesses and the potential to lose the use of any individual system or systems is probably a lot higher than you think. Threats come not only from biblical disasters but more commonly from things like hardware or software failure, human error, deliberate damage, hackers, viruses etc. The important question to ask is how long could you survive without your systems and what would be the business and reputational damage of a prolonged outage?
