All businesses have some degree of risk associated with them and managing those risks can seem like a daunting task for some small business operators. It's hard to know where to start, how much to invest and where the return on that investment is going to come from. It's an unfortunate truth that you never really appreciate risk management until it's too late. Fortunately there are options and ContinuIT is one of them.
Are your risks under control?
Risks come in many forms, from staffing, to fire & theft, to information security. At ContinuIT, we can help you identify the risks specific to your business, or a specific project that you're working on. We can show you how to build a risk register and help you identify how you will manage or mitigate identified risks. We can also help you build a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for your business and a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) for your information technology environment.
To get you started, here are some of the IT-specific risks that you may not have considered:
- Telecommunications failure

- Data loss
- Server and/or PC failure
- Accurate and current documentation of technology configurations and processes (Does your current supplier provide this?)
- Software maintenance and support (Are your applications current and supported?)
- Warranty of hardware (servers, PCs, communications equipment, cooling)
The implications of not having some sort of an action plan when disaster strikes could be disastrous themselves.
