11 On Site Recovery Team Drivers of decisions regarding: Recovery of office Well being of employees Alternate relocation plans Communications out to employees in affected location(s)

12 Business Continuity Planning Scenarios Our Business Continuity plans are based on two incident types 1) Unexpected Disaster Fire, flood, earthquake, tornados, terrorist act, explosion, workplace violence, flu outbreak 2) Expected Scenario Scheduled protests, scheduled power outages / rolling blackouts Hurricane / severe weather due to our South Florida exposure; lead time allows for storm preparedness

13 Business Impact Analysis (BIA) The BIA is the initial step for Business Continuity planning from which the whole BCP program is built Provides the data from which appropriate continuity strategies can be determined Ranks core business activities Grades activities from a financial and non financial impact Determines interdependencies Defines Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) Defines process, people, equipment and IT systems needed to meet continuity objectives

14 Disaster Recovery Strategies What technology based solutions do you incorporate in your BC Program? Cloud computing, data replication, clustering, failover circuits, redundant equipment, restore from tape, software as a service (SAS) Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) Program Desktop virtualization Work Anywhere Initiative

15 Business Continuity Plans Structure your plans around the responses from your BIA Plans contain critical processes and procedures to recover business functions in the event of an emergency interruption Individual plans are regional, country and business unit specific and are updated annually

16 Emergency Response Plans Build your ERPs with the help of executive management host a table top exercise ERPs are based on worse case scenario; anything less severe becomes a subset of the plan Develop plans for specific incidents hurricane, earthquake, active shooter scenario

17 IT Disaster Recovery Test Based on your requirements, do you have a Hot Site, Cold Site, Warm Site? Review the responses from your BIA to ensure that your critical applications and services reside in your DR environment Create a detailed site bring up script that is simple to follow Do you have plans in place to fail back to Production? Exercise your IT DR Plan at least once a year

18 Workplace Recovery Test In the event your office is inaccessible for a period of time, where are your employees going to relocate? Leverage offices in other cities / countries Work from home vs contracted office space Exercise your workplace recovery plan once a year Document your results and forward to senior management

19 Emergency Response Tests Develop realistic scenarios that your organization is likely to experience Establish a strong relationship with external agencies including local fire departments and emergency responders Work with senior management and HR to develop an emergency response plan around workplace violence Coordinate emergency evacuation drills with Facilities Exercise emergency response tests annually

20 Measurable Results April 16 18, 2012 Talking Stick Resort Scottsdale, Arizona

21 Crisis Communication Plan Establish a crisis communication program with the Core Business Continuity Team Plan should identify all stake holders that are inclusive of emergency communications employees, clients, vendors, media, EMC Draft sample communications around realistic scenarios that could affect your location Have HR and Public Relations review communications before distribution

22 Communicate! Emergency notification systems Communicate quickly Push/pull communications Pre script communications Wallet cards and badges Satellite phones
