Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in the Gulf Coast. Avalanche Buries Highway in Denver. Tornado Touches Down in Georgia. These headlines not only have caught the attention of people around the world, they have had a significant effect on IT professionals as well. As technology continues to become more integral to corporate operations at every level of the organization, the job of IT has expanded to become almost all-encompassing. These days, it's difficult to find corners of a company that technology does not touch. As a result, the need to plan for potential disruptions to technology services has increased exponentially. That is what Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is: a methodology used to create a plan for how an organization will recover after a disaster of various types. It takes into account both security and corporate risk management tatics.There is a lot of movement around this initiative in the industry: the British Standards Institute is releasing a new standard for BCP this year. Trade shows are popping up covering the topic.* Complete coverage of the 3 categories of disaster: natural hazards, human-caused hazards, and accidental and technical hazards.* Only published source of information on the new BCI standards and government requirements.* Up dated information on recovery from cyber attacks, rioting, protests, product tampering, bombs, explosions, and terrorism. |

| example business continuity plan: Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach David Lindstedt Ph.D., PMP, CBCP, Mark Armour, CBCP, 2017-06-05 Have you begun to question traditional best practices in business continuity (BC)? Do you seem to be concentrating on documentation rather than preparedness? Compliance rather than recoverability? Do your efforts provide true business value? If you have these concerns, David Lindstedt and Mark Armour offer a solution in Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach. This ground-breaking new book provides a streamlined, realistic methodology to change BC dramatically. After years of working with the traditional practices of business continuity (BC) – in project management, higher education, contingency planning, and disaster recovery – David Lindstedt and Mark Armour identified unworkable areas in many core practices of traditional BC. To address these issues, they created nine Adaptive BC principles, the foundation of this book: Deliver continuous value. Document only for mnemonics. Engage at many levels within the organization. Exercise for improvement, not for testing. Learn the business. Measure and benchmark. Obtain incremental direction from leadership. Omit the risk assessment and business impact analysis. Prepare for effects, not causes. Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach uses the analogy of rebuilding a house. After the initial design, the first step is to identify and remove all the things not needed in the new house. Thus, the first chapter is “Demolition” – not to get rid of the entire BC enterprise, but to remove certain BC activities and products to provide the space to install something new. The stages continue through foundation, framework, and finishing. Finally, the last chapter is “Dwelling,” permitting you a glimpse of what it might be like to live in this new home that has been created. Through a wealth of examples, diagrams, and real-world case studies, Lindstedt and Armour show you how you can execute the Adaptive BC framework in your own organization. You will: Recognize specific practices in traditional BC that may be problematic, outdated, or ineffective. Identify specific activities that you may wish to eliminate from your practice. Learn the capability and constraint model of recoverability. Understand how Adaptive BC can be effective in organizations with vastly different cultures and program maturity levels. See how to take the steps to implement Adaptive BC in your own organization. Think through some typical challenges and opportunities that may arise as you implement an Adaptive BC approach. |

| example business continuity plan: Business Continuity Management in Construction Leni Sagita Riantini Supriadi, Low Sui Pheng, 2017-08-19 This book provides an understanding of Business Continuity Management (BCM) implementation for local/international construction operations, with a primary focus on Indonesian construction firms as an illustrative example. It reviews the whole spectrum of work relating to organizational culture (OC) and the institutional framework (IF) as one of the key ways for companies to evaluate and implement BCM in construction operations. Once readers have acquired a sound understanding of BCM, OC and IF linkages in construction firms, the lessons learned can be extended to other companies. This is facilitated through a systematic assessment framework presented in the book using a Knowledge Based Decision Support System (BCM-KBDSS), which allows these companies to evaluate their current status quo with respect to BCM, OC and IF, and then make informed decisions on how and to what extent BCM should be implemented in their operations. As such, the book offers a unique blend of theory and practice, ensuring readers gain a far better understanding of BCM implementation in the construction industry. |

| example business continuity plan: Continuity Management Hamilton Beazley, Jeremiah Boenisch, David Harden, 2002-10-24 How can I keep knowledge from walking out the door when employees leave? This pressing question is insightfully answered in this landmark book. Operational knowledge has never been more critical to organizational success. Knowledge loss from downsizing, imminent baby-boomer retirements, and high job turnover have created a knowledge continuity crisis that poses an unprecedented threat to organizational productivity and profits. Based on extensive research, Continuity Management solves this crucial problem of knowledge loss for managers at any organizational level by describing an effective strategy for preserving knowledge continuity between employee generations. Revolutionary in its effect, but evolutionary in its practice, continuity management is fueling a new knowledge revolution. This book is about that revolution-and how to lead it. |

| example business continuity plan: BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT Prabhu TL, The management of business continuity is a crucial task. It ensures that your company's usual business operations are maintained with minimal disturbance during a calamity. BCM is based on the idea that good response systems can reduce the amount of damage caused by hypothetical catastrophes. Company continuity management is described as an organization's advanced planning and readiness for preserving business functions or promptly resuming operations following a calamity. It also include identifying potential threats such as fire, flood, and cyber-attacks. Business executives have devised a strategy to detect and manage potential crises before they occur. The procedures are then tested to confirm that they operate, and the process is then reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that it is up to date. Continuity management encompasses more than just the aftermath of a natural disaster or a cyberattack. It all starts with the rules and procedures that have been designed, tested, and implemented in the event of an incident. The program's scope, essential players, and management structure are all defined in the policy. It must explain why business continuity is vital, and it must maintain control during this phase. One component is determining who is responsible for the establishment and modification of a business continuity plan checklist. The other is determining who will be in charge of implementation. In what may be a hectic period for everyone concerned, governance brings clarity. It's also important to consider the scope. It specifies what the organization's definition of business continuity is. Is it about keeping apps running, products and services available, data accessible, or people and physical locations safe? Businesses must be clear about what is covered by a plan, whether it is revenue-generating components, external-facing parts, or another portion of the overall business. During this phase, roles and responsibilities must also be assigned. These may be clear positions based on work function, or particular responsibilities based on the type of disruption that may occur. Policy, governance, scope, and roles must all be widely stated and supported in all circumstances. |

| example business continuity plan: Business Continuity Management: How to Protect Your Company from Danger Michael Gallagher, 2002-01 Business continuity management (BCM) has become a hot topic in recent years and more significantly, in recent months (September 11, foot and mouth and flooding). However, BCM is not just about recovery from a disaster such one caused by fire or flood or the failure of IT systems. It can also be about the collapse of a key supplier or customer, about fraud, unethical operations and about reputation management.Recent surveys have shown that most companies still do not have business continuity plans and of those that have plans, many have never been tested or exercised. As a result, corporate governance, regulatory, insurance, audit and general business requirements are now emphasising the importance of robust risk management and BCM practices in every organisation.Today, it is vital that board members and senior executives understand the nature and scope of BCM. They need to be in a position to evaluate and enhance the status of the activity within their organizations. This briefing examines the nature of BCM and looks at its relationship with other activities such as risk management, insurance and the emergency services. |
