What is the current state of your Business
Continuity Planning (BCP) program? What are its major gaps?
Does its current maturity level match the requirements of
your organization today? Tomorrow? What are management’s
expectations? What are the evolutions that need to be accomplished
over time to heighten its sophistication and maturity?
The Current State Assessment
(CSA) serves as an objective means of measuring the effectiveness
and maturity level of the BCP program over time. There are
numerous benefits that the CSA provides including key questions
regarding your BCP Program:
- What level of maturity does the
organization currently possess in the aspects of business
resumption, disaster recovery and as an enterprise?
- What is the target level of BCP
Maturity we must achieve in business resumption, disaster
recovery and as an enterprise in order to meet our corporate
requirements?
- What are the major gaps and exposures
that exist in the program?
- What evolutions must we achieve
over time to get to our target maturity level in business
resumption, disaster recovery and as an enterprise?
The CSA process interviews
key personnel and reviews appropriate policies, plans and
strategies to determine preparedness levels, identify gaps,
and document an appropriate action plan/roadmap to achieve
the level of sophistication and maturity required by the organization.
The CSA questionnaire scores business resumption, disaster
recovery and enterprise capabilities based on the following
areas:
- Governance
- Project Management
- Policies & Standards
- Impact Analysis
- Risk & Threat Assessment
- Change Management
- Escalation & Notification
- Data Backup & Offsite Storage
- Recovery Strategies
- Event Management
- Recovery Plans
- Planned Growth
The resultant output of CSA interviews
and reviews yields a score that places business resumption,
disaster recovery and the enterprise elements in one of six
maturity levels:
- Maturity Levels Zero through
Two represent organizations that have not yet implemented
the basic infrastructure to launch a sustainable enterprise
BCP Program.
- Maturity
Levels Three through Five
represent the evolutionary path of a maturing BCP Program.
Based on the resulting maturity level
of each component, an Action Plan and Roadmap outlining the
tasks to raise the sophistication and maturity of each element
of the program over time is documented. Additionally, the
CSA permits you to calculate a predicted maturity level score
based on how aggressive the implementation of the Action Plans
and Roadmap will occur over a period of time (e.g., 3 months,
6 months, etc.). The CSA is designed to be used as a performance
metric to measure current and future BCP program maturity
on a regular basis in turn providing management with a realistic
picture of program capabilities.
In conclusion, if you need to determine
the Current State of your BCP program, this webinar is for
you. You will be taught how to perform the CSA process and
evaluate the current state of your BCP program. Additionally,
we will cover the process of developing an Action Plan and
Roadmap to heighten the sophistication and maturity of your
program over time.
