How our BCP can help you in case of emergency
If faced with a physical disaster such as a fire or a major cyberattack, could your business recover? If so, how long would it take? And at what cost?
If you are unsure about any of these questions, it means your business continuity plan has not been designed by Rhesus. With our extensive experience, Rhesus has become a reference for commercial and industrial insurers. For businesses affected by a disaster, those with a backup strategy and a recovery plan were operational again within hours. This is obviously not the case for businesses that did not have one

Your business continuity plan must include these elements
Prevention of IT disasters
Prevention is key to avoiding IT disasters. It is essential to perform regular and proactive maintenance of the IT infrastructure. This includes updating software, verifying resources, and validating system operability. A well-planned maintenance schedule can help prevent failures and malfunctions before they occur, saving time and money by limiting interruptions.
Risk Management
It is important to have a risk management plan that includes strategies to address IT disasters. This may include managed services that provide preventive and proactive management of devices connected to the network, eliminating problems before they even start.
Recovery and Recovery Solutions
In the event of a disaster, it is crucial to have recovery and recovery solutions in place. This includes IT recovery plans and pre-disaster strategies, as well as cybersecurity solutions and phishing campaigns to protect against cyberattacks.
Compliance and Insurance
Businesses must also ensure that they comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as [mention specific laws or regulations]. This can help minimize risks and ensure a quick and effective response in the event of a disaster.
Replication
Replication is an essential process in computer systems that involves copying data from one location to another to ensure redundancy and continuity of operations. It can be used for data backup, server replication, database replication, or entire systems, and is key for disaster recovery and high service availability.
In the context of business continuity, replication allows for maintaining a copy of critical data and systems in a separate location, so that, in the event of a primary system failure, operations can be quickly transferred and restored from the replicated copy. This minimizes downtime and ensures that essential data is not lost, while being physically located off your main site.
Backup: how to minimize the risk of data loss
In a world where data has become one of a company’s most valuable assets, backups are essential to ensure business continuity in case of disaster. A robust backup strategy allows for quick recovery of lost data and minimizes the impact on business operations. This is exactly why the 3-2-1 backup strategy was designed. The Rhesus team encourages you to protect yourself with 3 copies of your data on 2 different media, with 1 backup stored offsite.
3 copies of the same file
In addition to the raw data on your main server, you should have 2 additional copies made regularly. Losing a few hours of data is obviously better than losing a week!
2 different media
To ensure that the same failure does not occur on 2 similar media at the same time, it is recommended to use 2 different types of media.
1 offsite copy
In the event of a disaster, it is important to have a copy of your data stored offsite. Cloud backup is the preferred option for this copy.
+1 the archive
To further reduce the risk of data loss, we recommend having an additional backup on a USB drive or external hard drive, made regularly by a technician on a different medium each time. This snapshot in time, completely independent from online data, will offer extra protection against potential ransomware attacks.
