"In 2003 over 4,000 businesses of all sizes in London were contacted by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry to ask about their emergency plans should the business experience a fire, suspected bomb, a chemical incident or need to evacuate into a safer area.


The survey revealed that in the main, large and international businesses had contingency plans in place and knew how to use them. Worryingly smaller businesses did not seem to have any disaster recovery plans in place. Key findings were: -



  • 83% of SME’s in London do not have either a written security policy or contingency plan.

  • 20% of larger businesses in London also do not have any written security policy or contingency.

  • Only 10% of businesses with plans has tested them or trained employees in how to implement the plan"


The rest of this article can be found on the Disaster Recovery Solutions website. They offer a full range of Business Continuity and server co-location services from their purpose built head-quarters in Peterborough, United Kingdom.
