Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Consulting

In all businesses it is critical that systems be up and running 24X7.  Even a few hours of downtime can have a serious, negative impact on a company, threatening its financial viability.  Ongoing threats, fragile infrastructures, regulatory compliance and recent national security concerns have emphasized the need for well established Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning, offering emergency step-by-step procedures on getting the business back up and running, should a catastrophic event occur.  TGC can help companies minimize the risk of disruptions and continue to serve their    customers at a reasonable cost, as well as identify the gaps that exist in a company's preparation for a future catastrophic event. 

Business Continuity planning has five components: 

· Disaster Recovery- plans for orderly restoration of computing and telecommunication services.

· Business Resumption- workaround procedures for business processes used until the processes are recovered.

· Business Recovery- plans for complete recovery of business processes including the people, workspace, non-IT equipment, and facilities.

· Contingency Planning- planning for how to respond to various external events.

· Crisis Management- the overall coordination of an organization's response to a crisis to avoid or minimize damage to profitability, reputation, or ability to operate. 

Features and Benefits:

¨ Business Continuity planning provides an organization with procedures and possible courses of  action in the case of an emergency, determining the maximum downtime a company can "afford."  Without contingencies, recovering from a catastrophic event may be impossible.

¨ Site Duplication includes the integration of all passive and active networking elements, mission   critical information systems, and information security mechanisms into a newly established, protected site.

¨ A Disaster Recovery Plan includes a thorough analysis of the organization's needs and determines the best solution -- composed of backup, storage, and system duplication.

Key Questions:

¨ Do you currently have a Business Continuity/ Disaster Recovery Plan?  If not, have you considered implementing one?

¨ Does your plan take into consideration not only Disaster Recovery, but also Business Recovery and Crisis Management?

¨ How well documented is your Disaster Recovery Plan, including your process, policies, and procedures?
