BCP Overview – The Problem
How on earth do we ensure business and services are able to continue after a natural disaster or catastrophic event?
Business Continuity Planning Goals
Business Continuity Plan (BCP) / Disaster Recovery (DR) GOAL:
Should an incident occur, ODE will continue to provide services to it customers
Provide framework and guidelines for Agency BCP program development
Provide educational forums and BCP resources
Help to identify and coordinate cross-dependencies and common services
Statewide DAS BCP Policy– Statewide BCP Initiative
The Statewide DAS BCP Policy sets forth guidelines that require all State of Oregon agencies, individually, and in conjunction
with other agencies; to develop, implement, test, and maintain Business Continuity Plans and Disaster Recovery Plans for
Critical Business Functions that must be recovered within 30 days by June 30, 2009.
Agencies shall: Designate BCP Sponsors and BCP Coordinators
Use the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) process to identify Critical Business Functions (CBF)
Develop, implement, test and maintain Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans.
Complete a Disaster Recovery Plan for IT infrastructure
Conduct short-term and long-term reviews and revisions of plans
Establish awareness and training programs for BCP / DR
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Forms, questionnaires, and interviews are used to identify all of the Critical Business Functions (CBF) in each division and office
The BIA determines just how critical the business function is
The BIA will identify and specify CBF Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
Overall CBF RTOs are categorized by phases
Recovery Goals in Phases
Phase 1:
CBF that must be restored within 2 days
Phase 2:
CBF that must be restored within 1 week
Phase 3:
CBF that must be restored within 2 weeks
Phase 4:
CBF that must be restored within 1 month
eBRP Toolkit
eBRP Solutions, Inc. is the existing vendor for the Web-based Business Continuity Planning software being used within ODE
ODE will establish a BCP implementation project using the online eBRP Toolkit program
The eBRP Toolkit is an automated program in which Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans can be built, managed, reviewed, and maintained
Staff, teams, plans, hardware, software, contracts, vendors, locations, and other information can be identified and managed within the online eBRP Toolkit program
Will train coordinators and utilize the many eBRP Toolkit features as the BCP program develops.
Dilemma!
No resources
No funding
How do we maintain / manage our plans?
BCP needs Management support
BCP success hinges on having the following:
Management buy-in and support
BCP / DR must be embedded in culture
Commit resources – people and funding
Questions?
Are there any questions,
comments, or suggestions?
