IT-security planning windows
Year-end change freeze
Around public holidays and Christmas school holidays: avoid large migrations or rollouts. Reduced teams, longer response times.
Long weekends & bridge days
Do not schedule critical deployments before public holidays or bridge days — availability is limited if something breaks.
Summer holidays NRW
Holiday season: plan major changes carefully. Check backups, monitoring and emergency contacts beforehand.
Patch windows
Apply critical security updates promptly — but not right before public holidays without on-call cover.
SKOPION notes
Keep the incident plan current
Review incident and recovery plans at least yearly and update the contact chain.
Test backups before holidays
Before longer absences, test recovery — not just the backup, but the restore.
Clarify availability
For sensitive periods, define who is reachable in an emergency and how escalation works.
