A business continuity plan (BCP) is a documented series of processes that details how an organization will continue to operate during an unplanned or catastrophic disruption in IT services. These disruptions can be caused by natural occurrences (storms, floods, fire), technological failures, or human activities (cybertheft, ransomware, or sabotage). Still, the result is the same: your business grinds to a halt.

SolidTech’s SolidBackup ensures that downtime will be minimal regardless of the situation. Our multi-layered hardware, software, and disaster recovery planning are designed specifically to get your business back up and running during both short- and long-term outages.

We focus on the key outcomes when creating the perfect Plan for your organization:

Building an effective BCP

If your organization does not have a BCP in place, or if your current BCP needs an upgrade, SolidTech has the expertise to help you formulate an effective BCP that will ensure your company keeps running even during a significant crisis. All our plans include the following:

Business impact analysis (BIA)

A BIA shows clearly how a disruption can affect your company's current functions and processes, including personnel, equipment, technology, and physical infrastructure. A detailed and complete BIA helps calculate the potential financial and operational loss from each function and process affected during a sudden and unforeseen outage.

Recovery options

This step identifies the key resources essential to returning your business to minimum operational levels as quickly and effectively as possible. This section of your BCP includes outlining processes to allow your staff to transition to a work from home environment or operate from a secure secondary location.

Plan development

With a BIA and recovery options stabilized, our team works closely with your organization to build a BCP that meets your unique organizational needs and requirements.

Testing and training

With your BCP is in place, we build a testing regime to ensure that the Plan works as designed and that all gaps are identified and mitigated. We also conduct regular training for your employees to ensure that everyone knows their respective roles when a disaster strikes.

Businesses can suffer greatly after a disaster halts their operations, and many never recover.

Let SolidTech manage your business continuity planning, and rest easy knowing you’ll get SolidBackup when things go wrong.
