What do you do when hurricanes, floods, fire, power outages, or acts of terrorism strike?

Are you REALLY prepared? When disasters occur, they can bring your company or your client's company to a standstill. Do you have a sound disaster recovery plan in place? Statistics show that more than 50% of all organizations impacted by such wither a natural or man-made disaster will never recover. IdentiRISK for Disaster Recovery is designed to ensure you have a detailed, business continuity/disaster recovery plan available TODAY to minimize the financial and resource impact on your company should a disaster strike in the future. You will be asked to answer a series of self diagnostic questions based on your current policies regarding disaster recovery. You will then upload your answers to the IdentiRISK data center, where you'll receive a detailed IdentiPLAN which gives you specific actions to overcome your vulnerabilities.

Upon completion, you can better perform the task of bringing not only critical IT systems, but also your facilities and communication systems back to normal operation.

What Our Users Say

This was the first time I tried a computer based product for CPE and knowledge increase. The IdentiRISK for Disaster Recovery course exceeded my expectations. I liked the way the course is laid out and how it flows from topic to topic covering a section and reinforcing it through key questions. The ability to test a company's status for a possible risk is very valuable. It opened my eyes to the innumerable ways an event can impact a company if the company is not prepared, causing it to go out of business. Especially useful and interesting is the concept of how to perform risk analysis and put some hard numbers to an event and its impact on a company. You don't just need a major event to have a disaster. Professional service providers and company employees will find this course a "must read" to advise top management how to be ready in case something bad happens.
