2. The information reviewed in this presentation stems from InfoSight and was provided with the assistance and advice of the New Jersey Credit Union League, who manage the business continuity planning information provided in InfoSight.

3. AT&T conducted a Business Continuity Study in 2013 and reports:  52 percent of IT executives surveyed anticipated the spending for mobile security services to increase.  86 percent already have a business continuity plan in place in the event of a disaster or threat — up - 8% increase in over the past five years.  Six out of ten (60%) invest in mobile security services with the majority (69%) indicating potential security breaches as the most pressing concern.

4. The five principles of disaster planning include: Awareness; Preparation; Mitigation; Response; and Recovery.

5. Internal operations must be considered when developing and implementing your Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Plan; including: Information Technology; Facilities; Security; Communication; and Asset Issues.

6. Employees play an important role in disaster recovery: Establish a communication strategy; Run through scenarios; and Make sure employees are organized and knowledgeable.

7. To test the credit union’s plan:  Implement pre-disaster actions;  Communicate disaster preparedness and response efforts;  Create “living documents” to be updated as circumstances change;  Develop life-like scenarios;  Introduce new problems throughout the disaster simulation;

8. To test the credit union’s plan:  Take detailed notes to recording weaknesses or opportunities;  Hold a post-mortem meeting to discuss what worked and what didn’t;  Maintain a detailed record of the simulation activity;  Keep a record;  Revise the plan and to key personnel.  Remember to re-test problem areas in future drills.
