We know that companies operating out of London suffered huge losses because of yesterday’s terrorist attacks.

London, Madrid (Train Blasts), NY (9/11), Delhi (Attack on Parliament), Tokyo (Subway Gas Disaster)….

The message is quite clear.

No place is safe.

Its becoming not just important, but critical that companies plan for disasters (natural and manmade) - and incorporate Business Continuity Plans into their business models.

These, and many other questions are answered in the first step of disaster recovery - Business Impact Assessment.

More on this. Watch this space.
