What is Business Continuity?
• Business Continuity is the enterprise-wide proactive BUSINESS process by which we manage the risks we operate within.
• It addresses all aspects of the business: People, Processes, Resources and Technology (PPRT)
• The goal is: preventing or mitigating the risks we can and preparing for recovery from those we cannot, or choose not to prevent.
• Preparation is the key: You fight like you train!
What does Business Continuity consists of?
• Chartering of BC activity
• Establishment of Cross-Functional Team(s)
• Inventory of People, Processes, Resources and Technology (PPRT)
• Risk/Threat Identification and Categorization
• Impact Analysis and Loss Estimation
• Prevention, Mitigation and Recovery Strategizing
• Gap Analysis and Resolution Planning
• Resolution Preparation, and Implementation
• Documenting, Communicating and Training
• Testing and Revision: Ad-nauseam
What is Disaster Recovery?
• Disaster Recovery is but one component of Business Continuity
• It consists of the response steps we take in the face of an impending disaster or in the aftermath of an actual disaster.
• It too addresses all aspects of the business: People, Processes, Resources and Technology (PPRT)
• The goal is: Preparing for recovery from those risks we cannot prevent or mitigate.
• Drilling is the key: You have to work your plan to know your plan works!
What does Disaster Recovery consists of?
• Development of a plan to appropriately address each category of Risk/Threat
• Including: – Establishment of the Recovery Team(s) – Development of Recovery Procedures – Training of the Recovery Team(s) – Change Management to keep plan current
• Provision of Necessary Resources • Arrangement for alternate technology platform, and
retrieval of backup data
