Assessment
Taking inventory of your current tech stack and preparedness procedures is a good place to start when creating a disaster recover strategy. Experienced IT professionals can audit your physical and electronic assets, identify areas of risk and address them head on. Solutions can be as simple as connecting delicate equipment to surge-proof protectors or as involved as implementing multi-tiered digital access system.

Backup
From ransomware attacks to power surges and everything in between, there are a wide variety of circumstances that could render your electronic equipment and the digital assets they contain unrecoverable. Fortunately, there is a solution: backing up your data with multiple redundancies. If your physical storage fails, then you can use your cloud storage and vice versa. The same logic would apply if a hacker were to gain control over one or the other as well. Additionally, having spare hardware on hand that is of the correct specifications will reduce compatibility issues and resulting downtime.
Staff Training
When it comes to IT disaster recovery, timing matters. Just as you have drills in place for fires and other emergencies, you should also have open communication with your team about responding to technology-related crises. Effective training ensures that each member of your staff knows their role and can execute their individual duty with timeliness and efficiency. Various tasks can include alerting customers and clients, assembling spare machines, reinstalling software and more.
Monitoring
Some IT disasters can be stopped in their tracks before they cause significant damage. When an IT professional regularly monitors your system, they can identify unusual usage patterns and follow up on them accordingly. Creating a schedule of automatic scans by a reputable and current anti-virus program can be beneficial as well — but should by no means constitute your entire approach to cyber security.
On-Demand Assistance
IT disasters don’t conform to regular business hours or take weekends off. If your IT company is not available 24/7, you could be left without critical infrastructure for hours or even days. It is worth considering the company’s physical location in addition to their schedule. You may want to receive on-site service in addition to phone calls and other remote interventions.
