Why do organisations need a disaster recovery strategy?
Having a disaster recovery strategy in place is a key part of any organisation’s business continuity. It focuses entirely on supporting the recovery and backup of your IT systems and data, so you’re back up and running if there’s substantial downtime.
This downtime can be caused by a variety of circumstances, including natural disasters, system failure, cyber attacks, or human error. Organisations that have a formal disaster recovery strategy are able to reduce how long their systems are interrupted, recover at a faster rate, and return to normal working order quickly.
- 54% of organisations have experienced downtime of over eight hours in the last five years
- For small organisations, a break in continuity could cost as much as $10,000 an hour, whereas this number jumps to over $5 million for large organisations
