This page outlines the process and procedures to ensure we can continue to operate as an organisation in case of disaster such as hardware loss, office closure, or a global pandemic. In general, Vertic works exclusively in cloud-based services and no local data is stored nor critical to be stored locally on laptops. This means, Vertic employees can be up and running relatively quickly in case of an outage, such as the one mentioned.
