Authority
Know who can approve urgent action and what evidence of authority a provider may require.
For Ontario law firms
If the person who keeps the firm moving were unavailable, could the office keep working?
Break-Glass Readiness helps small law firms clarify who can act, how authorized staff reach critical accounts and providers, and what needs to happen first when normal access or support fails.
A practical starting point for Ontario practices with small teams and concentrated account, provider or decision responsibilities.
Why firms use a continuity check
Small teams can have business-critical responsibilities resting with one person.
An owner, office administrator or external IT provider may hold the practical knowledge needed to approve a recovery, restore access or contact a vendor. A continuity plan should make the authorized alternate and the first steps clear without weakening normal safeguards.
Access
Identify business-controlled recovery routes for email, domains, cloud files and critical applications.
Continuity
Record provider contacts, escalation paths and the minimum work that must continue during disruption.

Break-Glass Readiness
Turn the result into a practical plan for your firm.
The Break-Glass Readiness Review maps critical dependencies, decision authority, alternate access, provider escalation and minimum continuity procedures. CyberTECT can work alongside the firm’s existing IT provider and tailor the scope to the practice.
Does this replace the firm’s IT provider?
No. CyberTECT can clarify governance, continuity and recovery responsibilities while the firm’s technology provider continues its technical role.
Does the check assess compliance?
No. It is a directional self-check. It does not certify compliance, provide legal advice or guarantee that incidents will not occur.
Are the answers shared?
No. The answers are processed in the browser and are not submitted or stored by CyberTECT. Only choose options; do not provide confidential matter details.
