Business Continuity

WHAT IS BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING?

ERM creates and validates a practiced logistical plan for how your organization can recover and restore partially or completely interrupted critical functions within a predetermined time after disaster strikes.

WHAT IS CRISIS MANAGEMENT?

Crisis Management is a process by which an organization deals with a major unpredictable event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public. Three elements are common to most definitions of crisis:

• a threat to the organization
• the element of surprise
• a short decision time

In contrast to risk management, which involves assessing potential threats and finding the best ways to avoid those threats, crisis management involves dealing with threats after they have occurred. It is a discipline within the broader context of management consisting of skills and techniques required to identify, assess, understand, and cope with a serious situation, especially from the moment it first occurs to the point that recovery procedures start.

WHAT IS DISASTER RECOVERY?

We make process, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster. Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business continuity planning and should include planning for resumption of applications, data, hardware, communications (such as networking) and other IT infrastructure.
