Why this matters
Businesses increasingly depend on digital tools. An outage, poor configuration or data loss can quickly affect operations. A structured approach helps reduce risk and improve recovery readiness.
First measures to put in place
1. Identify critical assets
Identify the systems, accounts, applications and data that are essential to operations. This helps prioritize investments and protection measures.
2. Strengthen identities and access
Use multi-factor authentication where appropriate, apply least privilege and remove unnecessary access promptly. Administrative accounts require particular protection.
3. Plan for backup and recovery
A useful backup must be protected, monitored and tested regularly. Define what must be recovered, target recovery times and responsibilities.
4. Test and document
An untested procedure can fail at the critical moment. Document recovery steps and run periodic exercises suited to your environment.
