14 Appendix-B: Public Private Partnership (PPP) Summary Of Field Study APPENDIX-B Public Private Partnership (PPP) Summary of Field Study i) Profile of Respondents: Of total 131 responses received 85% stated that their organizations had documented their Business Continuity Plans (BCM). Over 90% of organizations had part-time or full-time BCM teams in place. In over 60% cases, the BCM function was managed by professionals certified in BCM. This indicates that the organizations that responded to the survey had reasonably matured BCM initiatives in place. Going by the survey, it is the IT industry followed by the banking (33%) and financial sector (20%), which is most sensitive to Business Continuity Planning. This also tells us that other sectors really need to catch up fast, because ours is becoming highly unpredictable world, where disasters, technological and ecological are rampant. Another yardstick, which throws much light on the issue is the designation of the respondents, most of the respondents were either Managers, senior managers or chief managers(42%), this tells that business continuity planning is a serious issue and the level of involvement has always been middle/upper level. ii) Perception of threats: In general perception, 65% of respondents think that communication and network failure is the biggest threat to the smooth functioning of all the systems. Nearly, 38% people perceived that the highest risk for their business was from various natural disasters. 37% of respondents anticipated high impact of business disruption on facilities/property through natural disasters. 36%of respondents anticipated high impact of business disruption on business operations and commitment from natural disasters. 39% of respondents anticipated high impact of business disruption on staff from 157

15 Appendix-B: Public Private Partnership (PPP) Summary Of Field Study natural disasters. Only 12% of large organizations (defined as those having an annual turnover of over Rs.4000 crores) perceived themselves as better prepared to deal with business disruptions caused by fire, system breakdown and power failure. While reported preparedness to deal with fire, power failure and system breakdown was high, perceived preparedness to deal with regard to pandemic Flu, Earthquake and riots was relatively lower. iii) Actual Disruptions Despite their Business Continuity preparedness and maturity, 60% of the respondents reported at least one significant business disruption in the past one year, while 17% reported either three or more major disruptions. The average number of significant disruptions was 1.8 (which has increased from last year's average of 1.6). This indicates that despite the higher levels of preparedness due to experience and on-going learning, organizations continue to be vulnerable, and that the incidence of disruptions has actually increased. The higher incidence of disruptions is indicative of the fact that the environment is getting to be increasingly dangerous and unpredictable. New types of threats are constantly emerging, leading to more frequent incidents and newer types of disruptions. While organizations would ideally like to increase their preparedness to any and every kind of threat, this is not always practical or feasible. Hence, the most effective strategy is implementation of an extremely robust and effective BC plan, which will allow them to respond to and manage all types of incidents without suffering any catastrophic shortterm or long-term consequences. The average loss caused by disruptions was Rupees 20.5 Crores - up from Rupees 7.7 Crores last year! This shows that not only has the incidence of disruptions increased, but so has the financial impact. Importantly, the cost of implementing a Business Continuity program is a mere fraction of the Rupees 20.5 Crores average loss incurred by organizations due to disruption. Having said that, organizations still need to put in efforts to safeguard themselves 158

16 Appendix-B: Public Private Partnership (PPP) Summary Of Field Study from risks, which they consider to be unlikely. While the responding organizations reported a high level of preparedness to deal with Fire, Power Failure and System Breakdowns, perceived preparedness with regard to the Pandemic Flu was relatively low. Interestingly unavailability of the right people duringbusiness disruptions is perceived as the single biggest vulnerability of the overall BCM program considered to be the weakest link by 36% of the respondents. This is significant because the Pandemic Flu is a threat which, per experts, has the potential to cause a large scale business disruption that could last up to nine months. According to the Atlanta-based Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (source - WHO website), a Pandemic is likely to result in 2 to 7.4 million deaths globally. By the organizations that disclosed their data, an average of Rupees 2.05 Crores was spent on Disaster Recovery assets/ back-up site, and Rupees 1.44 Crores on average was spent on communications & IT infrastructure. Within Business Continuity, the prime expense heads were the cost of part-time or fulltime BCP resources, and testing and exercising. Clearly, many of these organizations recognize that the major investments are in IT-DR, and not in BCP. By the large organizations (defined as turnover greater than Rs 4,000 Crores), the average amount spent on preparedness was 0.15% of the company turnover - a minute fraction. Clearly, BCP can be implemented at a very affordable investment. A total of 84% of the respondents stated that their BCP arrangements "could be better". This indicates a mature stance, with the realization that they may possibly never be prepared enough. Testing and exercising, audit, management review and on-going plan review are some of the areas in which these organizations found themselves having scope for improvement. 49% of the respondents stated that the effectiveness of their BCP program was measured through exercise results. As against this, 20% mentioned that the effectiveness of their BCP program was measured by audit finding, while 11% are benchmarking themselves against the industry norms. 159
