Keep your business running without interruption
The cost of downtime
Why unplanned outages cost more than continuity planning
Outages disrupt operations and revenue.
Backups alone are not enough.
No plan means chaos when it happens.
Comparison to alternatives
Business Continuity vs backup-only vs no plan
| Business Continuity (us) | Backup only | No plan | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Planning, monitoring, backup verification, and recovery support | Backups run; little or no planning or testing | Hope nothing fails; react when it does |
| Recovery time and testing | Defined recovery targets; regular testing so you know it works | Recovery time unknown; first real test is during an incident | Recovery is ad hoc; can take days or weeks |
| Documentation and roles | Documented plan, roles, and procedures; clear communication | Often no written plan or assigned roles | No documentation; confusion and delay during incidents |
| Cost and predictability | Predictable cost; no surprise outage or recovery bills | Backup cost only until an outage; then recovery and downtime cost | Unpredictable; outages and recovery can be very costly |
| Compliance and audit | Evidence of due care and planning for audits (e.g. HIPAA) | Harder to demonstrate due care; auditors ask for a plan | Compliance and audit risk; no evidence of planning |
