Disaster Recovery is only one component of Business Continuity Management/Planning, but it is vital to the ongoing operation of your business in the face of a major incident or natural disaster. Your clients and investors expect you to have a tested disaster recovery protocol in place, and to have invested in the systems and services to support your business in an emergency.
