Protecting Your Business from Downtime
The Problem Every Business Faces:
Nothing could happen?
Too many leaders hope for nothing… but the truth is, something always happens.
-

-
Data loss
-
Outages
-
Breaches
-
Malfunctions
-
Crashes
-
Disruptions
-
Incidents
What if your systems went down tomorrow? Would you be back online in minutes or left scrambling for days?
The reality is disruptions strike all the time:
-
⚡ Power outages knock out networks.
-
💻 Server crashes leave employees unable to work.
-
🔒 Cyberattacks lock you out of your systems.
-
🌪 Natural disasters halt operations without warning.
The good news? With the right strategy, these risks don’t have to derail your business.
Why Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Matters
BCDR isn’t just about keeping files safe it’s about keeping your entire business running when it matters most.
Consider these facts:
- For many SMBs, even a single hour of downtime can mean losses ranging from $1,000 to over $5,000, depending on size and industry.
-
Downtime erodes client trust, leading to lost opportunities.
-
Data loss creates compliance failures, adding legal and regulatory risks.
Without a BCDR strategy, your business is vulnerable. With one in place, you gain confidence that no matter what happens, your business stays on track.

Cost of Inaction vs. The Power of Preparedness
Putting off BCDR feels easy until disaster strikes and “later” becomes too late.
Without a plan:
-
Downtime measured in hours—or days—crushes productivity.
-
Employees can’t do their jobs and morale drops.
-
Clients question whether they can rely on you.
-
Revenue losses mount fast.
With Foundation BTS:
-
Recovery measured in minutes, not days.
-
Smooth transitions that keep your team moving.
-
Clients reassured you’re dependable.
-
Confidence that your business is ready for anything.

Fire Disruption, Business Continuity in Action
In 2019, a fire in a commercial plaza north of Toronto left several offices uninhabitable with toxic smoke and residue. One of our clients suddenly found themselves locked out of their headquarters — unable to access servers or keep day-to-day operations running.
Their first call was to Foundation BTS. Because we monitor and test enterprise-level backups daily, we could immediately confirm their data was safe and ready to recover.
Within minutes, we:
- Reactivated their servers on the cloud so they could do payroll
- Provided secure networking and VPN access for all remote employees
- We even let them borrow our boardroom for temporary office space!
This meant the team could run payroll, process estimates, and keep projects moving while insurance adjusters assessed the damage.
The result: what could have been a devastating shutdown became only a temporary setback. With the right continuity plan, businesses don’t just survive disruption — they keep moving forward.
