Risk Analysis and Assessment—To begin, our experts will assess your existing DRBC plan, including your mission critical systems and most recent business impact analysis. We will review and analyze your IT and business environments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, provide recommendations to reduce those risks, and benchmark your current condition against best practices to identify shortcomings. The result is a solid baseline to develop short- and long-term DRBC plans. |

Business Impact Analysis—The backbone of a robust DRBC plan is the Business Impact Analysis (BIA). Many organizations fail to conduct a BIA that addresses all of the gaps in their recovery model. We provide experts who will help identify and confirm business processes and information technology functions that are critical to the survival of your business in the event of a disruption. We will also work with you to understand the mission critical business processes, functions and applications, as well as the financial impact should these components be disrupted. In addition, we will help you create a restoration sequence to determine which parts of your business should be restored first. |

DRBC Planning—Our team will work with you to rapidly integrate your BIA and begin designing the formal policies and procedures of your DRBC plan. We will develop IT recovery strategies that meet recovery time and recovery point objectives, document the procedures required to put your plan into action, and develop the manual workaround procedures required in a short-term systems failure. We will also help develop another critical component—a detailed employee communication plan. |

DRBC Plan Testing and Updating—Once in place and tested, the plan must be continually updated. Our experts will work with you to ensure that any changes to your business and technology environments are incorporated into your DRBC plan. |
