What Happens When You Don’t Have a Disaster Recovery Plan?
Lack of preparation can be devastating to your business:
- Extended Downtime: When systems go down and there's no recovery plan in place, operations grind to a halt—costing you money, customers, and trust.
- Permanent Data Loss: Without reliable backups, your business could lose client files, transaction records, and proprietary information with no chance of recovery.
- Damaged Reputation: Failing to recover quickly from a disaster can shake customer confidence and damage your reputation in the marketplace.
- Increased Costs: Emergency IT fixes and last-minute data recovery services are often far more expensive than planned, preventive solutions.
- Compliance Risks: Businesses that handle sensitive data without adequate disaster recovery protections may violate HIPAA, CMMC, or other regulatory standards.
At Shift Computer Services, we believe that every business—no matter its size—deserves a recovery plan that ensures operations continue smoothly even in the worst-case scenario.

Frequently Asked Questions About Disaster Recovery Planning in Orange County
What is a disaster recovery plan, and why do I need one?
A disaster recovery plan is a strategic approach to restoring IT systems, data, and operations after a disruptive event like a cyberattack or natural disaster. Without it, your business is vulnerable to prolonged downtime, data loss, and financial damage.
How do you back up my business data?
We use automated, encrypted cloud backup solutions that store your data securely offsite. These backups are continuously monitored and tested to ensure quick recovery when needed.
What’s the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?
Disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT systems and data after a failure, while business continuity ensures your business can still operate during and after an incident. We provide both as part of our comprehensive continuity planning services.
How long does it take to recover systems after a failure?
Recovery time varies based on the systems affected and your plan's complexity. Our goal is to keep RTOs and RPOs as short as possible, often restoring key systems within hours, not days.
Can your disaster recovery services help with compliance?
Yes. We help businesses in regulated industries meet recovery-related requirements for HIPAA, CMMC, and other frameworks. Our solutions ensure your systems are secure, resilient, and audit-ready.
