Disasters don’t only take out servers. A cyber attack, a power outage, a burst pipe or an office you can’t get into can stop your team working. Business continuity planning from Sydney Technology Solutions helps you keep operating, serving clients and getting paid, whatever happens.
Business continuity planning in Sydney – Sydney Technology Solutions

How we help keep your business running

Business continuity plans

We help you write a practical continuity plan, or the IT section of your existing one, covering who does what, how you communicate and how work continues.

Work from anywhere

Cloud-based systems, laptops and phone setups that let your team keep working if the office is unavailable.

Disaster recovery

Secure, tested backups and documented recovery plans to get systems and data back. More on disaster recovery.

Tabletop exercises and tests

Walk-throughs of realistic scenarios and test recoveries, so your plan works in real life, not just on paper.

What a good continuity plan covers

  • The systems and information your business can’t operate without
  • Who makes decisions and who does what during an incident
  • How staff, clients and suppliers will be contacted if email or phones are down
  • How and where people will work if the office isn’t available
  • How systems and data will be recovered, and in what order
  • How cyber incidents are handled, including reporting obligations and insurance

How we work with you

1. Understand

We talk with you about how your business operates and which systems and people are critical.

2. Plan

We help write or update your continuity plan, with clear roles and simple steps.

3. Prepare

We put the technology in place: remote working, backups, phones and communication options.

4. Practise

We run tabletop exercises and recovery tests with your team.

5. Review

We update the plan as your business, staff and systems change.

Business continuity vs disaster recovery

Business continuity is about keeping the business operating during a disruption. Disaster recovery is about restoring systems and data afterwards. You need both, and we help with both.

Why choose STS for business continuity

Business continuity is about people and process as much as technology. We help you plan for outages, cyber incidents and lost premises, test the plan with your team, and keep it current. Government guidance on business.gov.au recommends every business has a continuity plan; we make yours practical, tested and easy to follow. Good business continuity planning means a bad day stays a bad day, not a business-ending one.

Frequently asked questions

Do small businesses really need a continuity plan?

Yes. Small businesses are often hit hardest by downtime. A simple, practical plan makes a big difference to how quickly you recover.

Can you write our whole plan?

We can help you write a practical continuity plan, focusing on technology and how your team keeps working. We’ll work with you on the business decisions only you can make.

What is a tabletop exercise?

A guided walk-through of a realistic scenario, such as a ransomware attack or office closure, where your team talks through what they would do. It quickly shows gaps in the plan.

Does cyber insurance require a continuity plan?

Many insurers ask about backups, incident response and continuity planning. Having a tested plan helps with applications and claims.
