BUSINESS (DISASTER) RECOVERY PLANNING

If you lose your principal facilities at 3am this morning, where will you deliver services and products from at 9am, what will those services and products be, and who (and what) will you need to make it all work?

Business (disaster) continuity planning is a key contingency or risk management strategy. Our methodology for Business (Disaster) Continuity Planning addresses these objectives:

1) protecting human life
2) minimising disruption of service to the organisation and its customers
3) minimising financial loss
4) ensuring a timely resumption of operations in the event of a disaster
5) protecting the organisation from legal ramifications / suits
6) preserving stakeholder confidence and good will

Our approach is based on …

Phase 1 - Commitment and Business Continuity Policy
Phase 2 - Organisation and Recovery Structure
Phase 3 - Risk/Threat Analysis
Phase 4 - Business Impact Analysis
Phase 5 - Evaluation of Mission Critical Needs
Phase 6 - Strategies for Recovery
Phase 7 - Backup Service Agreements
Phase 8 - Recovery Executive Committee Management
Phase 9 - Department / Division / Unit Recovery Plans
Phase 10 - Data and Computer Operations' Recovery
Phase 11 - Merge Unit Plans in Master Recovery Plan
Phase 12 - Training, Testing and Maintenance

We have a clear cut methodology that looks at your risk exposure, documents mission critical activity, documents Information Technology recovery activity, develops your recovery strategy (location, accommodation, services, resourcing, rebuild, communications and messages to the public), puts in place vendor agreements to assist in recovery, plans and trains your Recovery Executive Committee.

The need to recover your business is a difficult problem to face the morning after - our business recovery plan will make that challenge much easier to manage.
