Disruption can affect any organisation. A cyberattack, power failure, technology outage, supplier problem, severe weather event or loss of access to a building can interrupt operations with little warning. Business continuity planning helps an organisation prepare for these events, maintain its most important services and recover in a controlled order.

Cloud storage can be more secure and resilient than keeping business data on a single server or device. It can provide strong physical security, encryption, geographic resilience, detailed logging and rapid recovery options that would be difficult for many organisations to build alone.
