It’s one thing to ensure your IT systems are functioning optimally under normal operational circumstances. It’s another to be sure your systems can continue when natural disasters, data theft or loss, and power failures strike.

We ensure each of your departments and staff members has a well-tested role in your business continuity plan and understands how to respond appropriately to IT incidents. 

What is RTO and RPO?

Successful organizations often place an emphasis on the backup portion of business continuity, but not the recovery. Finding RPO and RTO values that are appropriate for your organization is a key step in your plans success.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is how far back your organization is able to roll back and is the maximum amount of data loss allowed when restoring the latest valid backup.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is how long your organization can take to restore operations to normal.

By putting in the time and effort to build a comprehensive business continuity plan, your organization will have what it needs to... 

• Respond quickly and appropriately to IT incidents,
• Minimize damages,
• Maintain efficient business operations, and
• Achieve continued growth.
