Digital Continuity: Managing Tech-Dependent Risks

With growing reliance on digital infrastructure, Business Continuity Managers must also focus on IT continuity. System failures, data breaches, and cloud outages can halt operations. A BCM collaborates with IT to implement failovers, cloud redundancy, cybersecurity policies, and backup systems. They evaluate third-party dependencies and create digital recovery workflows. Testing these systems ensures minimal downtime. With hybrid work models and remote teams, ensuring seamless access to critical tools is paramount. The digital continuity plan becomes a safety net—one that protects not only operations but also customer trust and brand integrity in a tech-first world.
