11 11 Key BC Differentiators 1. Business Continuity Planning is ongoing – Coordinated program of strategies, plans and procedures that provide for the ability to manage and ensure the ready availability of critical resources in the event of a physical disruption to any part of the business operations. 2. Business Continuity Planning is for survival – Resumption of critical functions following a disruptive event – Is not meant to guarantee business-as-usual – The type, timing and severity of any business disruption is unpredictable. A major disruption to your business WILL happen. Will you be there when it happens? …and what can you do about it?

12 12 How Can BCP Help Assure Success Don’t Take on an Impossible Task Segregate Resources by Category Concentrate on Improvement, not Perfection Test, Exercise, Drill

13 13 CONFIDENTIAL Threat-Based Approach: Insufficient and Difficult to Achieve

14 14 CONFIDENTIAL Best Practice: an “IMPACT”-based Approach Assume the resource is either unavailable for >30 days and/or, worst case, destroyed. Resources Impacted Investors lose confidence, exit market Wide-scale civil unrest and looting destroys facilities Key documentation destroyed Wide-scale civil unrest and looting, destroy facilities Key electronic records destroyed Pandemic – 10% to 15% perish Three orders of succession Destroyed or perished Sole source, critical infrastructure, supplier severely affected Building quarantined, civil unrest damage to facility and vital records Inability to gain access to equipment for service Inability to gain access to service/ install software. Pandemic – 40% of internal and 40% of external work force Three orders of succession Relationships & Interdependencies Physical (facilities, raw materials, equipment) Technology & Processing (data processing networks) People (employees, contractors, support functions) Unavailable and/or inaccessible for an extended period of time Assumption

15 15 CONFIDENTIAL Map Resources to Critical Processes Address all dependencies and the skills required to maintain operations, whether a public entity, service provider, manufacturer, supply company, or other type of organization Process Process Process Resources People Technology and Processing PhysicalRelationships Employees Contingent work force Electronic data Electronic applications Nonphysical infrastructure: Op. systems, firmware, mgt. tools, services, and utilities Equipment Facility Raw materials Cash and currency (n/a) Inventory Work in progress Vital records Peripherals and supplies Other tangible assets including utilities, telecom, health and safety, transportation General public External suppliers Internal suppliers Investors Insurers Public and external infrastructure: mail, transportation, utilities, telecom, safety, health, Regulators Industry consortiums Auditors Outsourced/third-party service providers Functions Process Resources People Technology and Processing Physical PlantRelationships Employees Contingent work force Electronic data Electronic applications Nonphysical infrastructure: Op. systems, firmware, mgt. tools, services, and utilities Equipment Facility Raw materials Cash and currency (n/a) Inventory Work in progress Vital records Peripherals and supplies Other tangible assets including utilities, telecom, health and safety, transportation General public External suppliers Internal suppliers Investors Insurers Public and external infrastructure: mail, transportation, utilities, telecom, safety, health, Regulators Industry consortiums Auditors Outsourced/third-party - service providers Functions

16 16 Improvement not Perfection “Perfection is the Enemy of Success” Trying to cost justify BCP Large number (lost revenue) X Tiny number (probability) = Lack of Preparation Starting at the bottom by counting items The items will change before the task ends
