“Continuity planning is not just a best practice, it's a necessary investment in the future of any organization. By preparing for the unexpected, businesses can minimize the impact of disruptions and maintain critical operations when they're needed most. It's not a matter of if, but when, an organization will face a crisis. The question is, will they be ready?"
