Business Continuity

Writing a plan that involves the rest of your organization is always complex. With the additional elements of the trauma experienced by an organization’s employees during a disaster such as loss of human life or physical damage to property, recovery procedures can often be compromised if not properly documented. One of the most difficult components of a Business Continuity Plan is continuance in the absence of key individuals.

Additional components of complexity include the coordination of recovery efforts between multiple departments simultaneously. Managing the response of an entire company to a disaster can be an exercise in futility without established procedures to be followed by defined recovery teams.

The establishment of recovery priorities and methods of communication both internal and external to your organization are critical to maintain control of the situation during the initial phases of disaster response activity. Corporate policies as well as legal responsibilities may also have an impact on Business Continuity Plans and recovery procedures. Failure to perform due diligence in preparing for and responding to a disaster may result in undesirable legal implications.

Business Continuity considerations are very different from IT Disaster Recovery Plans. A consolidation of multiple departmental plans which may include IT Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity must address the needs of critical business processes for the entire company as well as the human element (evacuation, relocation, etc…) and physical structural damage.

Assuming that individual departments have ways of getting by is not a viable option for a successful Business Continuity Strategy. Preparation, documentation and testing are the only guarantee that your best efforts have been applied to the development of your organization’s Business Continuity Program.
