Risk Management – Are you planning for the worst

Risk management is an important aspect of any business and it is important to ensure that a business has a plan in place in the case of something happening to their IT system. Do you know what the risk management plan is at your firm?

An excellent example for the need of a risk management plan is the incident that recently occurred at the Swanwick Air Traffic Control Centre. Many flights were delayed and some were even cancelled because of the problem that occurred with there IT system. There was a failure in the link between the centre and other air traffic control systems. Some of Britains biggest airlines were caught up in the frenzy including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Luckily Swanwick had a plan in place which meant that some flights were still able to continue with there journeys. Air traffic controllers had to revert back to manual ways to ensure that the skys above were safe. This is a perfect example which clearly emphasises the need for a risk management plan to be put in place no matter what type of organisation you are part of.
