Business Continuity Planning
Firestorm tailors its business continuity plan to each client’s individual situation, industry conditions and needs. Based on findings from our scoping/gap analysis, Firestorm makes client-specific recommendations to manage and either eliminate or mitigate the impact of identified vulnerabilities on your company. No two Firestorm plans are alike.
What should your BCP include? Protocols for continuity of operations, security, human resources and crisis communications are paramount; otherwise, you may not be able to meet your governance requirements. Your plan must address all manner of disasters, be they manmade or natural. It should include separate provisions for communicable illness (pandemic), identity theft, sabotage, and access to facilities and systems. Firestorm can audit your existing plan to isolate gaps or weaknesses, and tailor a solution to address every contingency.
The ideal BCP addresses these critical factors:
- Business assessment – a clear overview of all business critical information and process flows
- Scoping analysis – an end-to-end examination of all people, processes and systems
- Risk assessment – Defining the enterprise’s potential exposure and tolerance for uncertainty
- Enterprise-wide focus – BCP is NOT just an IT /network technology solution
- Training – Educating all employees about their roles and responsibilities, to the company and community
- Scheduled review and reassessment – Preparedness is an ongoing process of vigilance and adaptation as your business environment evolves
