10. PROCESS

11. EXAMPLES OF BCDR STRATEGIES Strategy Type Comments Business Continuity Strategies 1. Evacuate existing building and relocate to a pre-arranged alternate work area Assumes the alternate site is ready for occupancy, or can be made ready quickly, based on recovery time objectives; ensure that transportation is available 2. Work from home Ensure that staff have broadband and Internet access at home; ensure there are sufficient network access points to accommodate the increase in usage 3. Move selected staff to hot site Assumes a hot site program is in place and there is space available at the site for staff 4. Move alternate staff into leadership roles in the absence of key leaders; ensure they have been cross-trained Succession planning is a key strategy in business continuity; it ensures that loss of a senior manager or someone with special expertise can be replaced with minimal disruption to the business 5. Relocate staff to another company office Organizations with multiple offices that have access to the company network as well as work space can be leveraged to temporarily house employees

12. Strategy Types Comments Disaster Recovery Strategies 1. Activate backup and recovery facilities in secondary company data center; transfer production to that site Assumes the secondary data center has sufficient resources, e.g., storage capacity, server hardware, to accommodate additional processing requirements 2. Activate recovery resources in a cloud-based service;  fail over critical systems to that site and resume operations Ensure that your contract for this service has the ability to "flex" as your needs dictate; ensure that security of your data can be maintained 3. Activate backup systems and data at a hot site; transfer operations to that site Be sure you know what resources you have available at the hot site, what the declaration rules and fees are, and what your options are if multiple declarations are occurring at the same time 4. Replace damaged equipment with spare components As much as possible, have available spare systems, circuit boards and power supplies; backup disks with system software; and hard and soft copies of critical documentation 5. Activate alternate network routes and re-route data and voice traffic away from the failed network service Ensure network infrastructures have diverse routing of local access channels, as well as diverse routing of high-capacity circuits
