Helpful Resource for Protecting Your Business

Datto Webinar

I would like to thank everyone who participated in yesterday’s webinar “5 Keys to Creating a Disaster Recovery Plan for SMBs” and express my thanks to Datto for making it possible to share this important information. We had over 600 small and medium businesses register for the webinar. Upon registration, participants received a “Risk IQ” test that I developed as a self-assessment tool. We began the webinar by reviewing each of the ten questions in the test with some surprise answers. Such exercises can help to raise awareness that we tend to under-estimate risks. At the conclusion of the webinar, participants were invited to use a free tool from Datto that helps to calculate the hourly cost of a business disruption. We also made available a checklist of steps to get started on the way to business continuity planning. And, of course, we are available, along with the managed service providers, to help businesses implement their continuity plans. The webinar was recorded, so participants can go back and re-watch it as often as they need to do so, and offer this resource to their employees and future hires. If you were unable to participate in the live webinar, please register here and you will be given a link to the recording and all of the free tools that were made available. And be sure to listen to the accompanying podcast for additional information.
