RAMSEY, N.J., Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of their commitment to providing businesses with quality IT service, Comport, one of the Northeast's top DRaaS providers, provides tips on how to keep your business running when disaster strikes.

In an ideal world, companies would always operate at maximum efficiency without having to worry about protecting their corporate data. Unfortunately, however, there are a variety of situations in which disaster can stop a business in its tracks and cause significant financial damage.

The best companies are always prepared for the worst. Listed below are some guidelines to keep in mind to ensure that your company can bounce back should disaster strike.

Have a Plan. The most important part of any disaster recovery is having a plan before it happens. When crucial data is lost or technology is otherwise compromised, it's a very stressful situation with serious implications for the business. To head off any problems before they get out of control, a business should put into place a plan of action they can quickly activate should the company find themselves with a technology emergency.

Develop a Communications Strategy.  In the event of a disaster, it's important to put into place an internal communications strategy to keep all branches of the technology team on the same page.  Data recovery can be a complicated and time-sensitive process, and providing accurate information to employees and other affected parties is crucial if the restoration process is to be successful. Without the full picture, employee error during this critical process can sabotage efforts and make a full recovery far more difficult. If the company has a recovery plan, communicating that information should be a priority before the process actually begins.

Educate Employees. Even the best-prepared companies can have all their work be for naught if employees are not educated against current cyber threats. A secure data management system is important, but when a company introduces a human element to the equation it's impossible to completely prevent errors. With that said, communicating to employees about proper use of data and protection against common cyber threats such as the latest viruses, malware, and phishing can go a long way toward keeping a company protected.

Invest In An IT Strategy And Establish Solutions For Data Management. Having systems in place for proper data management is important. For example, employing the use of cloud services can add both convenience and security when it comes to storing critical information. There are a variety of ways that a business can protect their data but working with a professional IT services partner to define a data management strategy allows you to work more efficiently today, while creating a strategy for future growth and needs. Putting data strategy in the hands of the experts can offload a lot of the stress from a company's leadership and save time and money in the long run.
