Requires a Business
Continuity (Disaster
Preparedness) Plan
Business
Continuity Planning
(BCP), also known as
Disaster Preparedness
Planning (DPP), is the
creation of a logistical
plan on how an organization
will:
-
Protect
key executives and employees
-
Maintain
critical operations to keep conducting business
functions
-
For
a predetermined timeframe
At
times of catastrophic
events such as but not
limited to:
-
Natural
occurrences as earthquakes, tornadoes, fires,
SARS virus, volcanoes, floods
-
Man-made
events as terrorist attacks, kidnappings,
regional conflicts
-
Cyber
attacks from external OR internal sources
Unforeseen
regional or national
events can disrupt electricity
and water availability,
knock out communications,
destroy infrastructure,
people can die, and
much more. .
We've
all heard or read the
instances about large
global companies (an
government) have this
happen to them and not
being prepared with
a written plan in place.
What dollar costs do
companies incur for:
-
Medical
ino\formation hacked resultingin credit
report services for employees and customers
-
Lost
proprietary company product information
-
Company
and executive reputations
 Instead
use your head and be
prepared!
Large
companies fortunately
have the financial resources
to out last the consequences.
But
what about small and
mid-market firms? What
about your company?
What
would it cost your firm
if you couldn't conduct
business for a week?
A month? Maybe longer?
How will it effect your
family? Now and long-term?

Key
executives and sales
employees leaving
Could
you company demonstrate
today it can conduct
business without interruption?
What
if you were faced with
Hurricanes like Sandy
and Katrina? A major
earthquake on California's
San Andreas fault? A
terrorist attack? A
volcano such as Mount
St. Helen's erupting?
Power and water outages?
As
you see, UBB assists companies
with their Business Continuity
Planning which also includes IT
department security challenges
and so some executives ask us
what does this have to do with
developing sales and new business.
Nothing!
But
it has everything to do
with maintaining your capability
to continue conducting business
in time of natural or man-made
catastrophic events. You've experienced
or read about computer networks
being hacked and proprietary company
and customer data being stolen
and compromised.
These
plans are validated through regular
practice annually or semi-annually.
Factors
to consider are Facility Management,
and Emergency international medical
& personnel security assistance
programs. Organizations
have clear due-diligence responsibilities
for the health and safety of employees,
especially board members and senior
executives.
Our
comprehensive Business Continuity
plans help organizations manage
emergency health and security
risks faced by expatriates and
executives/employees traveling
on international business.
This
is not health
or travelers insurance.
It
seems unwise not to take action
to prepare for and try to prevent
the devastating impact of such
catastrophe's not to mention potential
lawsuits from employees or their
families since your organization
didn't take commonsense due-diligence
action in advance.
Additionally,
organizations may soon be required
to incorporate some type of Business
Continuity Management planning
into your policies due to external
forces as corporate governance
or governmental legislation, or
internal such as your company's
general counsel.
- Keep
operations running with little
or no interruption by intact
organizational leadership and
infrastructure
-
Helps protect your organization's
image, brand, and reputation
- Helps
secure lower insurance premiums.
Your insurance company may well
view you more favorably should
some sort of disaster ever require
you to call upon their services
- Competitive
advantage; If you provide services
to customers dependent upon
them, for example an internet
service provider, then evidence
of a sound plan can be used
to win or retain customers
- Enhance
stockholders' confidence in
your organization
- Can
identify potential organization
structure, methodology, and
policy weaknesses
- Can
prevent key executive and employee
loss of life
- Ensure
media and vital records are
properly stored at an approved,
environmentally controlled storage
facility
- Reduce
Cost of Possible Litigation
and Reduce Legal Liability
