Beginning the process to rectify a claim actually starts before the claim occurs. Here are some precautionary and proactive measures to lessen the impact of a potential claim:
Backup your data
Backing up your files is a simple preemptive measure to salvage your company after data loss from property damaged in fires, floods and other catastrophes. With backups in place using tools like Apple Time Capsule and GoogleDrive, your company has a greater chance of continuing operations after a loss occurs.Take Pictures
Pictures are the most concrete way to prove ownership of property. Keeping up to date pictures on hand puts you in a better position to prove the pre-loss condition of your property. Keeping copies or pictures of receipts on file is also key to prove that you own the property.Practice an evacuation plan
Ensure that your employees are prepared for worst case scenarios. Practicing evacuation plans from fires, or other natural disasters in advance will help to reduce injuries and potentially save lives.Secure Passwords
Platforms such as LastPass or 1password can alleviate the stress of having to remember and change numerous passwords. They also reduce the potential fallout from a data breach or cyber attack. Additionally, these resources generate secure passwords that are automatically saved to a cloud-based platform, ramping up your internet security and increasing protection from data loss.
