Business Continuity / IT Disaster Recovery Management and Planning
Only resilient businesses survive disasters. And, of all the disasters you have seen, the WORST will be the one that happens to YOUR company.
Business continuity planning identifies mission-critical business functions and enacts policies, processes and procedures to ensure the continuation of these functions during and after unforeseen incidents.
Proper planning can keep a disruption from becoming a disaster. After all, the value of your company lies in its ability to continue to deliver critical products and services, and produce revenue.
Firestorm utilizes its unique PREDICT. PLAN. PERFORM.TM process in designing business continuity programs tailored to each client’s individual situation, industry conditions and needs. An effective program will identify an organization’s vulnerabilities - existing and potential - and institute procedures to monitor, plan, mitigate and train for impacts in the event of a crisis.
Comprehensive management and planning address these critical factors:
- Business Assessment (Business Impact Analysis)– A clear overview of all business critical information and process flows
- Risk Assessment – Defining the enterprise’s potential exposure and tolerance for uncertainty
- Enterprise-Wide Focus – A BCP is NOT just an IT /network technology solution
- Training – Educating all employees about their roles and responsibilities, to the company and community
