Keep Your Business Resilient This Wet Season
27 Feb 2025With the wet season in full swing, businesses must stay prepared for more than just heavy rain and storms. The heightened risk of cyclones and extreme weather events makes it essential to secure your IT infrastructure, protect critical data, and ensure business continuity. Just as you reinforce your physical property against storm damage, your technology systems also need to be storm-ready to prevent costly disruptions.
Where should you focus your efforts? While keeping backups updated and having emergency protocols in place are crucial, here are additional practical strategies to help your business remain operational, no matter the weather.
1. Conduct a Disaster-Readiness IT Audit
Now is the perfect time to assess how well your IT environment is equipped to handle outages and system failures. Key areas to review:
- Unprotected hardware – Ensure critical devices are stored in safe locations to prevent water damage or power surges.
- Power backup solutions – Test and maintain your Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and backup generators.
- Cloud-based backups – Confirm that crucial files and applications are stored offsite in case of local system failures
