Free Business Technology Continuity Checklist

Could your business continue operating if your technology support suddenly disappeared?

Most business owners don’t spend much time thinking about this question.

Why would they?

When everything is working properly, there is rarely a reason to think about who manages your email, where your website is hosted, who renews your software licences, where important passwords are stored or who to call when something stops working.

Then something changes:

• Your IT provider closes down.
• A key staff member leaves.
• The business gets sold.
• The relationship breaks down.
• The person who “knows how everything works” retires, becomes unavailable or simply disappears.
• Sometimes it happens without warning.

That is when businesses often realise just how much information, access and knowledge sits with one person or one company.

Technology continuity is about making sure your business can continue to operate regardless of what happens around it.

This checklist has been designed to help you understand your current position and identify any areas that may need attention.

You do not need to know all the answers.

Just start with what you can.You do not need to know all the answers immediately.
