Whitepaper: Achieving IT Resilience

5 pillars of IT that can help to keep your business running when the unexpected occurs

The best way to understand more about a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) is to research and learn. This paper will give you an understanding but also show you how to build the best defense system to structure resilience in your organisation.

Daily business operations are kept smooth and effective by healthy continuity practices. Unforeseen events can disrupt any organisation if they aren’t prepared. Cyber attacks are designed to target even the smallest of entry points, and when up to 70% of mid-sized companies do not include a formal BCMS, it can mean disaster.

Business Continuity holds 3 phases: Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. We have been focusing on the preparedness stage, to give you insights on how to evolve your organization for it to be better prepared when a disruption occurs. In the previous whitepaper, available here, we’ve established there are 3 main areas of the business you should look into to build resilience: Facilities, Humans, and IT.

We now deep dive into key strategic IT areas you can invest in to strengthen your resilience and get the most out of your IT investments. We’ll give you examples of key technical capabilities and best practices for each of the IT pillars we have identified as priorities in a resilience-oriented investment approach.
