As you have learned, building resiliency in your organization is one of the main reasons you need a contingency plan. Resilience means the ability to “bounce back” or recover from a crisis event, disaster, or even small emergency.
In today’s technology-driven world, businesses rely heavily on technology, and many functions are digitized. A major goal of your disaster recovery plan is to include digital technologies to ensure business functions can continue regardless of the crisis or emergency.
