The Best Way to Reduce Business Interruption

Following a Disaster is to Plan For it NOW.

As many as 50% of businesses may never recover following a disaster, according

to the latest industry research. Of the businesses that survive, the overwhelming

majority of them had a preparedness plan in place. Pre-planning can serve as an

insurance policy aimed at peace of mind.

By developing a SERVPRO® Emergency READY Profile for your business, you

minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action. Knowing

what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can

help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

Are You Ready?

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size

disaster, whether it’s a small water leak, a large fire or an area

flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when

the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever

plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Now is the time to

ask yourself, “Are you ready for whatever could happen?”

approach that provides the critical information needed to begin mitigation and recovery services. It is designed to serve as a

quick reference of important building and contact information. By working with SERVPRO’s Emergency READY Profile,

your business will receive the benefit of over 40 years of experience in reducing the impact of any natural or man-made disaster.

SERVPRO® values the data it processes through our systems and understands our clients’ and business partners’ concerns when it comes to securing their data assets. Therefore, SERVPRO® has made substantial investments in an information security framework to provide protection over data confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Security measures have been built into the SERVPRO® computer network and each application. The ERP application system is one of many tools provided to our Franchises to help them facilitate customer acquisition and retention. Below is a summary of the key security features designed to secure data processed by the ERP System:

1.Access to the ERP application is secured. Access to the ERP system is controlled via a username/password combination that allows the user to view only content that has been assigned to them. Data is only accessible via a secure web service using security standards that prevent malicious attacks.

2.Passwords are protected. Passwords use a one way hash.

3.Data on mobile devices is secured. Security of data is managed at the mobile device level within the Security Settings. For the iOS version, all data and photos are encrypted on the device. For Android version, only data is encrypted on the device.

4.Data is secured in transit. All data transmitted from the mobile device to the SERVPRO® network is sent over a 256 bit encrypted TLS 1.2 Triple DES SHA256 connection.

5.Access to the SERVPRO® network is secured. Firewalls are in place to control external access to the SERVPRO®ERP system.

6.Data in the SERVPRO® network is secured at rest. All ERP data is encrypted at the database level using AES 256.
