Imagine that all your systems are down. No email. No chat. No directory service. No office login because the access systems are locked. You try to get into different systems but everywhere is locked and that’s just the beginning. You have a phone and at best a computer or tablet.
Recent events have shown that both large and small businesses can be severely affected by cyber attacks. It’s no longer a question of if you will be hit, but when. How does your business engage in proactive planning? How prepared are you for a potential security incident? And what systems support is in place to ensure business continuity?
Digital crisis management plan safeguards operations in case of cyber attacks
Many companies lack the skills and resources needed to take a proactive approach to security when it comes to cyber attacks. This can range from conducting a thorough security analysis to being aware of the latest technology. Or making employees aware of current security threats and how they can collectively protect themselves against breaches. By securing their business with Storegate BCP and an analysis from one of our partners, companies can focus on their own business instead of IT.
New threats require new solutions
Storegate BCP, Business Contingency Planning, is a digital crisis management plan that ensures that important data is available if the business is affected by, for example, ransomware or a cyber attack. The service enables employees to continue running the business even if internal and external systems are down, and both files and databases can be quickly restored.
Cyber preparedness all year round
About a year ago, we were approached by a Swedish company in the building and construction industry. They were looking for a Business Contingency Planning (BCP) solution to access business critical information in case the worst happened. We were to assume that all their systems were down in a cyber-attack and that employees only had access to a mobile phone, tablet or, at best, a home computer with an internet connection. All information stored in the cloud service could only be accessed after the incident had occurred and in a predefined authorization structure. Ransomware protection was to be built in and all information was to be kept up-to-date on a daily basis.

With Storegate BCP, the building and construction company now has increased cyber preparedness, the solution is ready to be put into operation if the accident should occur. Through Storegate’s system, data from various sources is continuously updated and securely collected in Storegate’s Swedish cloud. Users and permissions are set up in advance. This makes the starting distance short if the business should suffer a cyber attack or for some reason cannot access its own systems.
