Preparing IT for staff holidays and reduced cover
Reduced cover is when small issues become big ones. A little planning keeps the business running and avoids emergency call-outs.
Checklist
- - Confirm who can approve urgent access and purchases.
- - Review admin accounts and ensure break-glass access is controlled.
- - Check backups, monitoring alerts, and renewal dates.
- - Ensure support routes are clear for remote staff.
- - Confirm critical suppliers and escalation contacts are up to date.
We can run a pre-holiday review and set up simple monitoring and escalation cover.
