Business Continuity Planning
Your organization needs a business continuity plan (BCP) that holds up when operations are disrupted. Boost Business Continuity Planning pairs you with an experienced consultant who develops a plan built for your organization and prepares your team to use it. CoNetrix Security has developed information security programs since 2001, and our experts hold CISSP, CRISC, CISM, and CISA certifications.
Planning, Testing, Documentation, and Reporting
Your consultant starts with a business impact analysis, then develops a BCP that prioritizes your business activities and defines recovery plans. The plan addresses reasonably foreseeable threats such as natural disasters, technological failures, human error, and more. Your consultant shapes the approach around your organization’s needs and capacity. Development can stay centralized, or your business process managers can give input in their own areas. Once the plan is complete, your consultant orients your team to it and leads tabletop exercises to test it with real-world scenarios.
Every part of your BCP is documented in Tandem and exports to reports for your Board, committee, auditors, and regulators. With a tested plan and complete documentation, your team is prepared to put the BCP to use if the need arises.
Service Features
Boost Business Continuity Planning starts with a business impact analysis and continues through plan development, team orientation, and a tabletop test. Engagements run as a six-month project with optional annual ongoing support, and consulting is available onsite or remotely. The six-month project includes one-time development of your BCP, with team orientation and a tabletop test. Your consultant works with you in Tandem Business Continuity Planning, which includes an Employee Alert Tool, and your consultant provides training on the software. Plans follow federal guidance and draw from industry best practices, such as GLBA, HIPAA, and guidance from the FFIEC, FDIC, OCC, Federal Reserve, and NCUA. Business Continuity Planning is also part of VISO Consulting and pairs well with Incident Response Planning.
