Cyber-attacks are becoming more common, and they’re becoming more costly to remedy as well. You might think your business doesn’t fit into the ‘type’ that gets targeted by hackers, but the truth is as long as you’re a business, you are open to intruders sifting through confidential files, leaking private information, and ultimately putting your business at risk.

The best way to prepare yourself for a potential attack is by investing in a business continuity plan. Business continuity is basically a proactive plan to avoid and mitigate the risks that occur after operations are disrupted. Even with high cyber security in place, sometimes hackers find a way to get through. If that happens, time is of the essence. Knowing what to do before, during and after an attack is essential to a smooth and speedy recovery.

Code Blue’s business continuity plan considers every single detail. It identifies risks and critical functions within the workplace, and devises a plan to avoid financial losses, protect the brand’s identity, and improve communication between employees and customers. It’s a recovery strategy to manage security and risks, and help employees understand the plan so it can be executed if or when it is necessary. An active and effective response plan can protect assets and restore operational functionality.

Basically, a business continuity plan allows your business to continue working as usual, even in a moment of crisis. A business continuity plan helps businesses survive existing and emerging risks and is, in short, a worthwhile investment. It helps you understand your risks, your operations, your employees and the whole backbone of your business.
