If Disaster Strikes, We’ve Got You Covered
If you feel overwhelmed by the intricacies of risk mitigation, disaster recovery, and business continuity protocols—you’re not alone. This is among the most daunting challenges facing organizations of all sizes today.
The first step is to change your mindset from “IF” disaster will strike to “WHEN.” No matter your organization’s size, type, revenue, or industry, having a comprehensive business continuity plan in place is not just prudent, it is a necessity. Depending on your organization’s specific needs, the level of planning and amount of effort and expense may vary; but the ultimate goal is to get your company up and running again at 100% capacity in the event of disaster.
And that’s where Panurgy comes in. How to properly prepare your business for a disaster with a well-thought-out business continuity plan is one of our specialties. Learn about the ways Panurgy can help you reduce business risk, improve resiliency, and recover quickly from disaster.
What are the main components of Business Continuity Services?
Business Continuity services include all the relevant practices and services that prevent a business from losing key data or being forced into unplanned downtime due to situations beyond its control. These services often include data backup, IT disaster planning and management, disaster recovery services, IT infrastructure backup, and even some crossover with cybersecurity services.
What is the difference between Data Backup and Disaster Recovery?
While these two services are often confused with one another and used interchangeably, in reality they are distinct practices. Data backup is the simple storage of redundant data files in case of data loss or corruption. Disaster Recovery is the process that restores data, software and infrastructure in extreme cases where a company’s system has been forcibly shut down by cyberattack, natural disaster, or physical accident. Both help businesses recover from data loss incidents, but they are not the same,
What are the most common reasons for needing Business Continuity Services?
Business continuity services should be acquired before there is a direct need typically. Having appropriate planning and processes for data and infrastructure redundancy can prevent companies from having any unnecessary downtime at all.
How do Managed IT Services benefit my business?
When you partner with Panurgy IT Services, you have a team that will assess current systems, servers, and data integrity and develop a plan to support and improve performance. As a result, data is more secure. There is less downtime, and your team can focus on the business without interruption.
What is the biggest aspect of Business Continuity that companies miss?
Most companies don’t take the time to have a complete disaster recovery plan or do appropriate documentation and backup of their processes and systems. Having a complete business continuity plan vetted by professional IT services technicians can make a huge difference in saving your organization both the lost productivity and time from data loss disasters.
What needs backing up beyond just stored data?
While having your company’s data backed up is important, many businesses do not also properly document their internal IT processes and back up that documentation. They also don’t have redundant IT infrastructure in place to get systems back online as fast as possible in the case of an emergency. Ensure that your business is fully prepared for any scenario by speaking to Panurgy about Business Continuity Services.

If you are like most businesses, your operations would likely come to a grinding halt. Helping our clients avoid that scenario is what we mean by Total Data Protection.

Protect Valuable Informational Assets and Keep Downtime to a Minimum
Total Data Protection is one of the few “real” and proven protections against potentially crippling malware such as CryptoLocker, which encrypts all your files, rendering them completely inaccessible unless you pay a hefty ransom payment to overseas criminals, who then give you the encryption keys to unlock access to your files.
With Total Data Protection, in the event any of your data is compromised by CryptoLocker or a similar threat, our team will simply and quickly restore your affected files, folders, or even your entire server(s) to a restore point image just prior to the infection occurring—in minutes! You won’t lose any data, and you’ll incur very minimal downtime.
