Business continuity services we provide
Whether you want an assessment of your current contingency strategies, or need to build your plan from the ground up, you’ll benefit from Stanfield IT’s team of business continuity planning experts. Our comprehensive services in the field of business contingency include:
Conduct a Risk Assessment
Firstly, through the lens of IT business contingency, we identify your critical services. We then assess where immediate and potential risks lie in your business that could impact these critical services, indicating the severity and likelihood of events occurring that could stop business operations.
Create a Plan to Implement Solutions
From here, we identify solutions to these issues, putting them together to form a business continuity plan. This plan will make sure that, in the face of disaster, downtime is kept to a minimum or completely avoided. With this plan in place your business will heading in the right direction for profitability, success, and trustworthiness.
Testing and Training
Of course, you won’t be given a plan and expected to be left to your own devices from there onwards. We will train key staff members and test that everything is working as planned, undertaking any adjustments to your business continuity plan as needed. These staff members will be able to understand the processes that need to happen in the case of a disaster. Of course, you will still be able to engage our services if this were to happen.
Documentation
Through our business continuity planning, we provide you will all the appropriate documentation, which lays out your uniquely-tailored contingency plan. This will not only detail procedures to avoid any business losses and what to do in the case of a disaster, but detail your business processes, assets, human resources, and key partners.
Backup Solutions, Connectivity, and Infrastructure
A huge part of the business continuity planning process is having a comprehensive backup solution, which acts as a safety net for your business. This should include connectivity and infrastructure solutions in the case of downtime. The most important thing is to ensure your data is consistently backed up on a server separate from the main server.
High Availability Solutions
High availability solutions are paramount to prevent huge access loss in the face of compromised business operations. However, such solutions are often too costly for SMEs to consider. Stanfield IT tailor a high availability solution for your business’s budget through our business continuity planning services. This means that you’ll have a core to keep your systems running, and files accessible, even if disaster strikes.
Cloud Backups
Are you a cloud-based business? Our business continuity planning services include hybrid cloud backups. This hybrid approach means that we can assess and rectify any vulnerabilities that a cloud-only or local-only are subject to. We aim to ensure that it’s not only your data that’s available and protected, but your applications, too.
Monitoring
To make sure you’re aware of any issues or potential downtime—so this can be rectified before it causes business disruption—we offer testing and monitoring of your networks. This can be done remotely, where our system will constantly monitor your network for any slow or failing components. In this circumstance, we will be notified automatically so that outages are avoided.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Your plan will include strategies to be implemented in the case of corruption or loss, so that data can swiftly be recovered. We will prepare you for the worst-case scenario, so that reactions can be immediate, justified, and give your business the best chance of making a full recovery. Recovery targets will be set that reflect your assets, business size, and budget.
