Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning

Overview

When disaster strikes, whether natural or manmade, can your organization recover quickly and seamlessly? Do you have a plan in place to ensure that you don’t lose any critical data? Are your people prepared?

A disaster includes any unplanned business outage of sufficient duration to cause unacceptable loss to an organization or to drive the timed redeployment of limited resources. Losses can be tangible such as revenue losses, increased costs and contractual penalties, as well as intangible such as detrimental impacts to goodwill and public perception.

Axafina helps businesses and governments the world over to prepare for, and recover from, disasters; enabling them to continue on their path to superior results without sacrificing losses to customers and citizens. The Axafina approach embeds business continuity and disaster recovery planning strategies, policies and decision making within the organization.

This ensures that disaster recovery is not a one-off activity, but an ongoing management process. While assessing risk, the approach focuses on tangible business losses as well as intangible business impacts such as regulatory exposure and shareholder confidence. In this way, appropriate mitigation strategies are defined for a broad range of assets including information technology, buildings, people and business processes, to name a few.

Specific Services

Axafina offers two recovery planning methodologies—one primarily for the information technology environment and another focusing on the business from an enterprise-wide perspective.

Axafina’s recovery plan provides guidelines for:

  • Determining when and how to declare that a disaster has occurred.
  • Migrating business resources, as appropriate, to recover the business.
  • Restoring mission-critical operations and business processes.
  • Preparing for the resumption of normal operations.
  • Transitioning reduced-level operations to full-time capability.
  • Assessing and quantifying the severity of an unplanned interruption or outage.

Recovery planning objectives include:

  • Minimizing the interruption to critical business operations from manifested risks.
  • Limiting the tangible and intangible losses that may be incurred as a result of a disaster or extended business outage.
  • Avoiding or limiting legal and/or regulatory issues.
  • Simplifying the decision-making and resource movement processes during a stressful situation.
  • Providing for a controlled return to normal operations.
  • Establishing a plan that is maintainable in a dynamic business environment.
