Mixto invests in strong business continuity and disaster recovery plans to ensure that all data is securely retained and can be restored with minimal downtime. Here\u2019s why implementing these processes is so crucial to our operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Person<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s customer has literally zero patience for downtime, and with good reason.\u00a0\u00a0Every second an unprepared business spends in the throes of an unexpected disruption means it risks major losses in revenue and a massive blow to its reputation.\u00a0\u00a0To avoid this, like many companies, Mixto invests in strong business continuity and disaster recovery plans.\u00a0These plans are proactive insurance for unplanned events we have no control over. Wouldn’t you want to know your business is resilient?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why a business continuity plan is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A business continuity plan helps an organization ensure that operations can continue in the face of unexpected disruption. Whether disaster strikes through cyber-attacks, equipment failure, or even catastrophic acts of God such as virus outbreaks, hurricanes or earthquakes, every organization needs to develop a means of remaining secure while allowing employees to maintain productivity.
What our business continuity plan looks like<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixto has long made the shift to a digital workforce<\/a>. Secure remote access to our systems, along with the use of team collaboration software, allows many of our employees the flexibility to routinely work from home, joining us for video or phone conferences whenever required. This way, we keep our productivity moving seamlessly, whether we’re at the office or working outside of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a disaster recovery plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary objective of a disaster recovery plan is to ensure that all data is securely retained<\/a> and can be restored quickly after a disaster occurs. Events of this nature include human error, internal threats (such as disgruntled former employees), natural disasters, cyber-attacks or hardware failure. It\u2019s a bit like having an insurance policy against any possible threats towards the sensitive data we manage and gives our clients peace of mind. Though the terms \u201cdisaster recovery\u201d and \u201cbusiness continuity\u201d are often mentioned in tandem, they aren\u2019t actually interchangeable. Rather, the former belongs to the strategies of the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s why our disaster recovery plan is such a high priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning ahead ensures our clients\u2019 data stays secure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to storing our clients\u2019 confidential information, we understand the importance of security and retention. Losing our clients\u2019 data or allowing it to fall into the wrong hands is simply not an option. Our disaster recovery plan ensures that this information remains properly stored and that its access is strictly controlled. This means that our clients enjoy a worry-free experience knowing their data is safe <\/a>with us, and in turn, Mixto\u2019s brand <\/a>reputation remains strong. It\u2019s a win-win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human errors are reduced with disaster plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although when we think of the term \u201cdisaster\u201d, we often think of hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes, the truth is, human error can also produce catastrophic results. While it isn\u2019t possible to eliminate people\u2019s mistakes altogether, we can, however, attempt to reduce them and focus on a speedy recovery period. Nobody\u2019s perfect. Mistakes happen; but sometimes, they can be costly. In order to reduce the possibility of poor decisions that lead to compromised data, along with creating effective backup solutions, we make it our mission to see to it that our employees are properly trained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re protected from natural disasters and pandemics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Downtime for a company can suddenly strike in the form of floods, storms, or any other natural disaster or even through a pandemic. Our disaster recovery plan helps us to protect our clients\u2019 data and gives us the ability to jump right back into the swing of regular operations with virtually no downtime and minimal to no data losses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can handle system failures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve implemented resilient systems that don\u2019t go down easily, but all machines remain somewhat susceptible to internet connectivity issues and \/ or system crashes. We\u2019re continuously working to perfect our solutions, and having a disaster recovery plan in place helps us reduce these risks while we do so. It spares us the need for costly expenditures, and at the same time it provides us substantial protection from service interruptions due to any unexpected infrastructure failures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safeguarding against cyber attacks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A disaster recovery plan is essential when it comes to being prepared for the occurrence of cyber-attacks or terrorism. The cybercrime landscape is constantly evolving, and we\u2019re committed to staying ahead of the curve, making sure the impact of such attacks and the risks they pose are reduced. This keeps our data recovery process well-structured and maintains the order in our business continuity needed for a smoothly running organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
