The Ins and Outs of DR and Business Continuity in Law Firms
Sponsored By: Pivot Point
Description:
IT outages and functional disruptions can occur from anywhere. Is your firm prepared for the disaster that odds tell us will one day befall you? Even a minor disaster like a burst pipe above the data center or a work crew digging up your internet connectivity can significantly impact a firm and its matters. Ben Franklin said it best, "Failing to plan is planning to fail."
We'll review why it's so essential to develop a business continuity plan. We will explain what steps you need to take to make sure you are prepared for any disaster: software or hardware failure, human error, supply chain disruption, power outages, telecommunications outages and natural disasters. We'll walk through business continuity planning, with the emphasis on "business" and alignment with best practices like ISO-22301. We will also talk about the logical integration of your plan with your incident response plan and your ISO-27001 ISMS.
This is especially relevant at this time as law firms are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate their IT & business continuity to key clients.
