When Disaster Strikes,
Your Business Keeps Running
Load shedding, floods, and cyber attacks mean South African businesses face unique challenges, so it’s essential to be ready for anything. Recent events have shown that “business as usual” can change in an instant, and whether it’s extended load shedding, infrastructure failures, or cyber incidents, your business needs a plan to survive and thrive through disruption.
Business Continuity Matters
Sixty percent of businesses fail within six months of a major data loss, while the average downtime can cost small and medium-sized businesses around R50,000 per hour. Beyond the financial impact, customer trust can be lost in minutes and often takes years to rebuild.
