2-  Create an incident response plan to cope after the crisis occurs; and a plan to get your business to its minimum service level as quickly as possible.

3- Carry out an assessment of the key threats to the business (ie: data loss, fire, theft, loss of main supplier etc…)

4- Share your plan with important members of staff. Give everyone a role in order for them to be prepared.

5- Plan your recovery. Look at, for example, move to a temporary location, and sub-contracting service levels.
