Business Continuity Management for SMBs: Protecting Your Operations in Azure

As a Managed IT Services Provider (MSP), Louisville Geek helps small to midsize businesses (SMBs) navigate the complexities of business continuity management in the cloud. Microsoft Azure offers a scalable and secure environment, but businesses must take proactive steps to protect their data and maintain seamless operations in the face of cyber threats, outages, and disasters.

Key Considerations for Business Continuity in Azure

1. Understanding the Shared Responsibility Model

Microsoft secures the Azure infrastructure, but businesses are responsible for protecting their own data, applications, and access controls. Without a business continuity plan, companies risk data loss, security breaches, and downtime.

2. Avoiding the Pitfalls of a Single-Cloud Strategy

While Azure provides built-in backup options, relying solely on them may not be enough. A multi-layered business continuity approach, including offsite backups and failover strategies, ensures your business remains operational even if cloud services are disrupted.

3. Implementing Reliable Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions

Not all backups are created equal. Daily snapshots or basic backups may leave gaps in data protection. Louisville Geek helps businesses implement automated, verifiable backup solutions that provide real-time recovery and compliance with industry standards.
