An incident or disaster could occur at any time. Does your company have a Business Recovery Plan that enables you to minimise the effects of an incident, and which helps you start trading again? Imagine how much revenue could be lost if a key department of your business could not function – such as IT, Accounts, Sales, or Communications. This could be as a result of flood, fire, terrorism, hardware theft, contamination, or a total loss of communications.

If you have a Recovery Plan, when was it last updated? Has your company structure changed since it was last reviewed? Is the action plan sufficient, and is there suitable in-house expertise to deal with it?

Experienced specialists from De-Fence can help, no matter the size of the task.

How might my business be affected, following an incident or disaster?

	Non-functional telecommunications, email, internet
	Lost or ruined data: electronic and/or hardcopies, both current data and backup copies
	Some or all departments non-operational
	Loss of revenue
	Cessation of trading: in most cases, permanent

De-Fence has specialists, with a wealth of experience in this field, who are ready to help your business prepare a Recovery Plan. If you already have a plan and are in any doubt about its validity, we provide services to assess and enhance your plan.

De-Fence also offers a secure, automated data back-up service which includes highly flexible software enabling files to be sorted for back-up, using a schedule which you can specify. Please see overleaf for details.
