Business Continuity

Disruptions happen; be ready. Our Business Continuity service protects your data with secure, offsite backups, so you can recover quickly and keep operations running.

Why Business Continuity Matters

Unexpected disruptions, whether from cyberattacks, system failures, or natural disasters, can grind operations to a halt. If your backups are stored on-site, your data could still be at risk. A Business Continuity service ensures your critical systems remain protected and recoverable, no matter the challenge.

What is a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)?

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) outlines how your company responds to disruptions like IT failures or security breaches. At its core, a strong plan answers three key questions:

  1. How long can your systems be offline before it impacts business?
  2. Which applications are essential for daily operations, and how long can you go without them?
  3. How frequently does your data need to be updated to ensure smooth recovery?

By understanding these factors, you can build a strategy that minimises downtime and keeps your business moving.

How a Business Continuity service works

A Business Continuity service safeguards your operations with secure, encrypted offsite backups stored in high-security data centers. These facilities are overseen by our subsidiary, Argon Business Systems, ensuring your data is protected under industry-leading security protocols.

Instead of storing critical data on-site, where it’s vulnerable to physical damage, your backups are securely housed in ISO-27001-compliant facilities with 24/7 monitoring. With automated daily backups, your data stays protected and instantly accessible, so you can recover quickly and avoid major disruptions.

Minimise downtime and keep business running

Disruptions to your operations often happen without warning, and while network outages, power cuts, and debilitating cyberattacks are hopefully a rare occurrence, knowing that you can easily resume service after an interruption is invaluable for both you and your employees.

A Business Continuity service ensures that even if something goes wrong, your critical systems and data remain secure and quickly recoverable. With automated daily backups stored in encrypted, offsite data centers, you can restore operations with minimal downtime and keep your business running smoothly.

Three Benefits of a Business Continuity Service

A Business Continuity service is more than just a backup; it’s a safety net that keeps your business running smoothly, no matter what happens. From cyberattacks to power failures, disruptions can strike at any time. Instead of scrambling to recover lost data or facing extended downtime, you’ll have a reliable plan in place to restore systems quickly and get back to business. Here’s what you can expect:

Stronger Data Security

Your data is automatically backed up daily and stored in encrypted offsite data centres overseen by Argon Business Systems. That means your critical files are always protected from cyber threats, accidental deletions, and system failures.

And because backups run automatically, there’s no risk of human error getting in the way of your data security.

Plan Flexibility

Not all data is equal, some files need to be kept long-term, while others only matter for a short time. With a customisable backup plan, you can:

  • Scale your storage up or down based on your needs.
  • Choose which files, folders, and applications to back up.
  • Retain only the data necessary for compliance.

This way, you’re only paying for what you actually use: no wasted storage, no unnecessary costs.

Peace of Mind

Downtime is frustrating for you, your team, and your customers. Instead of losing time and revenue waiting for systems to come back online, a Business Continuity service ensures your most critical data is restored fast.

With secure, offsite backups ready to go, you won’t be left scrambling to recover lost files or rebuilding operations from scratch. You’ll have a solid recovery plan in place, so you can get back to business with minimal disruption.

How can your business achieve Business Continuity?

  1. Business Impact Analysis: Assess key business activities, examine the effects of potential disruptions, and identify what resources are required.
  2. Risk Assessment: Identify possible risks and evaluate their potential impact on business operations.
  3. Business Continuity Plan: Develop a structured strategy to ensure the business can continue operating during unexpected disruptions.
  4. Disaster Recovery: Establish policies and procedures to efficiently restore operations following a disaster, including optimising document management systems for business continuity.

A recent study found that three in five small companies that suffer a cyberattack are out of business within just six months. Yet 60% of small businesses don’t have a BCP in place, putting their business at serious risk.

The truth is, no one knows when a disruption will happen, it could be a cyberattack, a power outage, or a system failure when you least expect it. But what you can control is how prepared you are.
