OCIE® Business Continuity and Disaster Preparedness Strategy

It can cost your business substantially when business is disrupted by unforeseen disasters. Lost revenues plus extra expenses means reduced profits for sometimes lengthy periods of time. Insurance does not cover all costs and cannot replace customers that turn to your competition to keep their businesses going. A business continuity plan to continue business is essential. Development of a business continuity plan includes these four steps:

1. Conduct a business impact analysis to identify time-sensitive or critical business functions, processes and documentation along with the resources to support them.
2. Identify, document, and implement to recover critical business functions and processes.
3. Organize a business continuity team and compile a business continuity plan to manage any business disruption.
4. Conduct training for the business continuity team and testing and exercises to evaluate recovery strategies and the plan.

One of the most critical components to your business continuity plan is to have your business critical documents and digital content stored in a secure archive.
