Disaster
recovery software for assessing risk
Use the risk management
module to analyze the hazards and threats that could cause
disruptive events to interrupt your operations and prevent your
organization from delivering its products and services to its
customers. This integrated disaster recovery system is easy to
use and implement and enables the User to understand key
vulnerabilities and how to protect the organization from critical
risks.
Your preparations to guard
against disruptive incidents could be crucial in minimizing the
costs of disruption and could even enable the organization to
survive in the event of a really serious event.
Risk treatment and risk treatment strategy are normally
identified with regard to the cost of establishing and maintaining
appropriate business or technical recovery solutions. An operation
or operational component may also be considered critical if dictated
by a regulatory or legal requirement. For each critical operation or
operational component that is considered to be within the scope of
the risk management project, important BIA values can then be
assigned.

Crisis management
phases
The first stage of crisis management can involve emergency
management activities that require timely and decisive action such
as evacuating areas of danger, calling the emergency services, or
treating injuries. Where the disruptive event is likely to seriously
impact on the business then a suitable disaster recovery plan is
likely to be triggered.
The credibility and
reputation of an organization is heavily influenced by the
perception of their responses during crisis management situations. There should
be open and consistent communication throughout the hierarchy to
contribute to a successful crisis communication process whilst
protecting critical and sensitive data provided such protection it
does not result in increasing the risk of causing injuries. |

Mapping
dependent components for your disaster recovery project
In order to complete the
"understanding your business" aspect of the disaster recovery
process, it is necessary to map all the dependent components
together. Potential incidents, critical assets and resources,
technology and communication processes and also dependent products
and services should all be mapped together and dependency levels
established. This is easy to accomplish in all three BC Expert
versions. This software disaster recovery software provides all
these functions.
Set up your products and
services and your key technology processes in their respective
modules and use the mapping arrows to map each related component
together. Use the dependency dropdown to establish the dependency
level.
Do the same with the
technology and communication components and also the potential
incidents and the operational components are all then linked
together making planning and vulnerability assessment significantly
easier to accomplish. Identify single points of failure in the
operational process and use this to establish priority setting.
