Operari created these service offerings to help our clients DRIVE INNOVATION AND VALUE CREATION THROUGH BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING INITIATIVES.

Operari's Business Continuity Planning (BCP) Services are based on a combination of multiple standards:

• Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)  
• Best practices from The Institute For Continuity Management (DRII)
• NFPA 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs
• ISO/DIS 22301 - Preparedness and continuity management systems
• BSI 25999-2:2007 and 25666:2010

Making sure your organization has the right BCP strategy can be challenging.  At best, many organizations see this as a task to be completed and reviewed by the audit team; however, the Operari approach is different.  Your business continuity planning processes can be the first step towards ... 

• Understanding your business process
• Realizing technology interdependencies
• Documenting potential business impacts
• Driving business and I.T. alignment
• Justifying I.T. infrastructure spending
• Knowing that you really are prepared

Every organization should have a Business Continuity Plan that includes:

• Recovery, resumption, and maintenance of all aspects of the business - not just the recovery of the Technology Components
• An enterprise-wide approach with prioritization of critical business processes and functions
•  A mechanism for regularly scheduled updates, tests, and reviews
• A process-oriented approach that includes:

1. A business impact analysis (BIA) and workflow analysis
2. A risk assessment and gap analysis
3. Risk management plans
4. Risk monitoring and testing procedures
5. Other policies, standards, and procedures - as needed
