longDesc="Disaster Recovery Planning Template" height=123>Over half of small
organisations across the UK, France and Germany are operating without a formal
disaster recovery plan in place, according to research.
The survey of 160 IT decision-makers found that 58% of small organisations
(50-250 employees) do not have a formal disaster recovery plan, and nearly one
fifth of mid-sized enterprises (250- 1,000 employees) are in the same
position.
Industry differences became apparent when comparing how prepared
organisations are for a potential disaster. companies within the Financial
Services sector (90%), as well as those in Communications and Media (81%), have
formal disaster recovery plans in place. However, a much smaller percentage of
businesses in Retail & Distribution, and Manufacturing, have done the same,
with less than 40% having drawn up formal disaster recovery
plans.
