Mistakes to avoid
Waiting too long: Time is critical, and delaying action can make the situation worse. The sooner you assess the impact and take the necessary steps, the better positioned you will be to recover quickly. In the event of a data centre outage, it is essential that your IT team keeps you informed. If they are not providing the support you need, do not hesitate to reach out to another provider who can assist.
Panicking: Whilst it is important not to hesitate in taking action, it is equally important not to panic. Making knee-jerk decisions without all the facts can lead to mistakes. Stay calm, gather information, follow your plan, and contact FluidOne if you’ve any questions.

What to do right now
Contact your MSP immediately: Your first course of action should be to find out what has happened, how it impacts you, and the steps they are taking to address the situation. You should also request clear updates on their response plan and the expected timeline for recovery.
Understand the scope: You should ask whether your systems, data, or backups have been compromised. It is also important to clarify which services are affected. This will ensure you have enough details to share with recovery experts if needed.
Activate your Business Continuity Plan (BCP): If you’ve a BCP in place, now is the time to use it. This will ensure you’re proactive in managing the situation, minimising disruption, and keeping critical operations running while recovery efforts are underway. Lacking a BCP? Contact us today.
