“The punch that knocks you out is the one you didn’t see coming.” – Cus D’Amato
The One Button You Don’t Want to Push in September
It happened again.
Last week, a local business in Central Texas pushed “update now” on a routine software patch, and boom, phones stopped ringing, files vanished, and a mysterious blue screen appeared like a boss level from a 1990s video game. The kicker? Their backup was working… but only in theory. No BCDR plan. No Business Impact Analysis. No warning.
And no joke, this all went down right before payroll.
What breaks most businesses isn’t one big thing. It’s ten small things that stack up and strike when you’re busy.
You didn’t start your business to become a cybersecurity expert or an IT strategist. That’s our job. But here’s the rub: if your tech stack isn’t aligned with how your business runs today (not last year), you’re vulnerable. And when a disruption hits, it’s not about files, it’s about momentum. Losing a day could mean losing a client. Or three.
So, what’s the simple fix?

Let’s keep your business running like it should, without surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an IT Health Check, and why does my business need one?
An IT Health Check is a quick, no-cost review of your technology environment to identify vulnerabilities, outdated systems, and hidden risks that could disrupt operations. It’s the easiest way to uncover potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.
2. How does a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan protect my company?
A BCDR plan ensures your data, systems, and workflows are protected and can be restored quickly in case of a cyberattack, software failure, or natural disaster. It minimizes downtime, keeps your team productive, and helps you avoid financial losses.
3. What’s the difference between backups and a full disaster recovery plan?
Backups simply store your data. A disaster recovery plan outlines the process to restore your entire system, servers, applications, and operations, so your business can get back on track fast. Without a plan, a backup alone might not save your operations when disaster strikes.
