Six months after the September terrorist attacks in the US European
firms are still not doing enough to prepare themselves to deal with
disaster.
Analyst firm IDC has found that the majority of European
enterprises with global revenues of $100m (£66m) still have no
formal business continuity plans in place.
Josh Krischer, a Gartner analyst, said recently that too many firms
are concentrating on high impact, low likelihood events such as the
World Trade Center attacks and urged businesses to give disaster
planning a higher priority.
Christopher Young, managing director of the Impact Programme,
reminded company executives of their legal obligations on business
continuity.
