contingency planning

Do you have “what if” plans? What if an incident occurs and your systems are compromised? What if offices are destroyed? What if a disaster forces everyone to work from home?

Plans for IT Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, and Incident Response are becoming a necessity.

Computer Security Incident Response plans are activated whenever a security breach occurs, such as a virus outbreak, a denial of service attack, or an attempt to compromise a host. When something happens, organizations must react and make decisions quickly. With a plan, you ensure the appropriate steps are taken even if someone is on vacation.  A plan reduces your reaction time and may save your system from more serious harm.

Every business  has different IT dependencies and budgets. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans must consider all of these factors. NCI will work with you to weigh the different options and determine a balanced continuity versus cost solution. For example, it is much costlier to provide immediate warm site cutover to a live system than it is to restore to an off-site location with an off-site stored tape backup. There are many such options to consider – let NCI help.
