Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan
There are several components that go into a plan. If any one of these components is missing from the development phase, your plan will not be as effective as it should be. We work with you using current methodologies to measure and identify your risks and the impact a disaster would have on your business. This information is used to develop a comprehensive written plan.
Plan Components
- Risk Assessment
- Business Impact Analysis

Plan Maintenance
Plan maintenance is a critical part of the process. If the plan is not up-to-date, it won’t be useful in a disaster. Our goal is to establish a relationship with you and provide information and support after the plan is written. Situations change. We learn more about responding to disasters after each one. There are a host of things we do to support you after the initial plan is written.
Testing and Training Exercises
The Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan is not one you write and file away.
Not only must it be updated, it must be tested. A testing exercise is an effective tool
to measure the quality of your plan, plus it provides a way to train personnel. They must
be familiar with what their responsibilities will be during a disaster and participate in
the drill.
It has been proven that personnel respond more quickly and effectively if they have gone through a training exercise. There is a reason for those fire drills in grade school and why the emergency responders in our communities go through extensive training!
Our manual can be used to design your testing exercise or you can contract with us to come on-site to conduct the test. We work with you to set the goals and objectives you want to achieve. The potential risks you have identified in the development phase are used to select an appropriate testing scenario. Discoveries that come out of the exercise are put into your plan. We also provide summaries of the event and documentation you need to meet regulatory requirements.
