Business Continuity Planning

A written plan for what happens when the office floods or the power is out for a week.

CLD-04

What this service covers

In Southwest Florida, hurricane season is a planning item, not a hypothetical. Business continuity planning answers the practical questions before they matter: which systems come back first, where staff work if the office is closed, how clients reach you and who makes the calls.

We build a written plan around recovery time objectives (RTO) for each system, prepare a storm-season checklist, and run a yearly tabletop exercise so the plan is tested before a storm, not during one.
