Business Continuity Planning Seminar
Protecting your business – why backups are only the beginning

When? 14 December 2011 
Where? The Intellect offices
Russell Square House
10-12 Russell Square
London WC1B 5EE

Riots, protests and inclement weather are just some of the recent business risks we’ve all faced, on top of the usual concerns about fire, flood, theft and employee malfeasance.

If you don’t put appropriate protections in place, your business is at real risk. Did you know:

• 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster, filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
• 94% of companies suffering from a catastrophic data loss do not survive, 43% never reopen and 51% close within two years. (University of Texas)
• 30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year and 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
• 7 out of 10 small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year. (DTI/Price waterhouse Coopers)

You may think that having a backup solution addresses this risk. However:
• 77% of those companies who do test their tape backups found back-up failures. (Boston Computing Network, Data Loss Statistics)
• 50% of all tape backups fail to restore. (Gartner)
Backup is only the beginning of a proper business continuity plan; and then only if its working and tested properly.

The Seminar
Managed Networks runs a free seminar covering:
• the difference between business continuity, disaster recovery and backup
• how to assess your requirements and weigh up your risks
• how to design and implement a business continuity plan that’s appropriate and affordable
• how to balance cost, risk and responsibility – including where the Cloud fits in

The seminar will be run by Ben Rapp FBCS CITP CISSP. Ben is a seasoned technology veteran with many years of experience advising clients on IT matters including business continuity and disaster recovery issues.
