What Is A BCP?
•
3 likes•441 views
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is not a single plan but rather a set of specialized team plans that document backup and continuity strategies based on a company's needs. The BCP should include the individual default response for each team member during and after work hours. Wallet cards with critical contact information and action steps should be issued to each person. An automated notification system for broadcast and voice messages is recommended over call trees. Backup systems, people functions, and information should have triple redundancy and be geographically separated. Detailed offsite reference information, identification of all mission critical risks, and planning for high probability interruptions provide more immediate benefits than focusing only on worst case scenarios.

Forkomil 2009 Soetam
This document discusses the importance of disaster recovery planning for organizations, especially higher education institutions like universities. It explains that while disasters can occur naturally or be caused by humans, most organizations are not well prepared to recover from disasters or ensure business continuity. The document recommends that disaster recovery planning should minimize costs, maintain customer satisfaction, and ensure business processes can continue. It also stresses the importance of top management support for effective disaster recovery planning.
Create a right sized disaster recovery plan
Your Challenge:
Traditional DRP templates are onerous and result in a lengthy, dense plan that might satisfy auditors but is not effective in a crisis.
Similarly, the myth that a DRP is only for major disasters and should be risk-based leaves organizations vulnerable to more common incidents.
The increased use of cloud vendors and co-lo/MSPs means you may be dependent on vendors to meet your recovery timeline objectives.
Our Advice:
Critical Insight
DR is about service continuity — that means accounting for minor and major events.
Remember Murphy’s Law. Failure happens, so focus on improving overall resiliency and recovery, rather than basing DR on risk probability analysis.
Cost-effective DR and service continuity starts with identifying what is truly mission critical so you can focus resources accordingly. Not all systems require fast-failover capability.
Impact and Result
Create an effective DRP by following a structured process to discover current capabilities and define business requirements for continuity, not by completing a one-size-fits-all traditional DRP template. This includes:
Defining appropriate objectives for maximum downtime and data loss based on business impact.
Creating a DR project roadmap to close the gaps between your current DR capabilities and recovery objectives.
Documenting an incident response plan based on a tabletop planning walkthrough that captures all the steps from event detection to data center recovery.

Introduction
Disaster recovery and business continuity planning are separate but related concepts. In fact, disaster recovery is part of business continuity.
Disaster recovery (DR) concerns the recovery of the technical components of your business, such as computers, software, the network, data, and so on.
Business continuity planning (BCP) includes disaster recovery along with procedures to restore business operations and the underlying functionality of the business infrastructure needed to support the business, along with the resumption of the daily work of the people in your workplace. Business continuity planning is vital to keeping your business running and to providing a return to “business as usual” during a disaster.

What Constitutes a Disaster?
A disaster is defined as a “sudden, unplanned calamitous event causing great damage or loss” or “any event that creates an inability on an organization’s part to provide critical business functions for some predetermined period of time.”
With this general definition in mind, the disaster recovery planner or business continuity professional would sit down with all the principals in the organization and map out what would constitute a disaster for that organization. This is the initial stage
of creating a business impact analysis (BIA).

Disaster Recovery
When you put together a disaster recovery plan, you need to understand how your organization’s information technology (IT) infrastructure, applications, and network support the business functions of the enterprise you are recovering.
For example, a particular business unit may claim not to need a certain application or function on day three of a disaster, but the technology process may dictate that the application should be available on day one, due to technological interdependencies. In this example, the DR planner should work with (and educate) the business unit ...

Key Features of Effective Business Continuity Plan
No leader wants to think about all the ways in which their businesses might be disrupted but, as the saying goes, failing to plan is akin to planning to fail. Disasters can strike at any moment and without warning, and long-term disruptions can drag on for much longer than anyone may have anticipated. From natural catastrophes to lasting disruption due to far-reaching changes in the market, the best approach to mitigation is a rock-solid business continuity plan.

A Disaster Recovery Plan is a documented process, and structured approach with instructions that details steps a business will take to recover from an unplanned catastrophic event. IBM highly relies on Information Technology to quickly and effectively process information, and most of its operations are computerized. As such, an IT disaster recovery plan for IBM should be well aligned with the business continuity plan. This is mostly known as risk assessment or threat analysis. Below are resources for documenting a disaster recovery plan for IBM Information Technology infrastructure.
Hardware and Peripheral devices
This generally includes any auxiliary device that is connected and works in conjunction with the computer, such as printers and scanners. When evaluating the hardware, one should determine the risk of losing the machine entirely and damage through hardware failure. The company computer systems may also be at risk of contracting viruses if employees are allowed to go home with laptops or consultants and vendors are allowed to plug in their Personal computers into IBM systems.
Email and Data exchanges
IBM uses shared computers and local area network which is generally a network of computers that share a communication line or wireless link to a server. This puts the company at risk of losing shared applications and information such as inventory control and payrolls. Sharing files using LANs may also lead to contraction of computer viruses and a slow down on the entire company network hence business interruptions. Emails shared through computers in the facility must also be evaluated when determining the risk.
Software Applications
IBM uses end-user programs designed to perform a group of coordinated functions for the fast and effective running of operations. These programs include word processors, spreadsheets, database programs and web browsers. All these programs are a source of vital information while developing a disaster management plan. Theft of software from the facility could be detrimental to the company and may even lead to lawsuits.
IP Addresses
The company internet protocol addresses act as a host or network interface identification. Despite the proxies and anonymity that exist to protect IP addresses, careless setups and gaps on the company’s security firewall could invite unwanted guests. Hackers may use the company IP address to send or retrieve information from the IBM computers.
VPN and Server Access
An evaluation on virtual private networks (VPNs) is necessary for ensuring the protection of private and confidential data. However, hackers may be able to spot weaknesses and stea.

Most companies till now doesn't have any backout or disaster plan in their list. It's tough to grow higher and even a cyberattack can damage their information, money, stock price, customers and reputation. All this need to be demolished by having few key elements as part of their business plan called Business Continuity Planning (BCP). We will discuss more about the elements in BCP.
Firstly, create a planning team - depends on the size of the team that includes all the required employees. Next one is perform a analysis on the business products - its key that the we always need to analyze if we need to alter any improvements and also, to calculate the impact for loss, interruption or discretion. Migitate risks and effective testing - testing always helps to find any security flaws and we can migitate the cyber risks.
Crisis communications and employee safety - these are very important because if a company hit by any cyber threat, communication should be fast and everyone must be updated and must be on the same page. At this moment, employee safety also comes into the picture as companies need to train them properly during these disasters operations.
Establishment of the business continuity strategies and access to the business resources - Companies must create certain strategies based on the business impact analysis results, their goals, objectives, maintenance of supplier relationships and with policies and standards. Finally, IT operations at off-site locations, companies which are beware of these ransomware attacks, having storing their data as a backup in the offsite centers. This makes a better plan rather than thinking about the lost data and how to recover it - which cannot be done during the current times.

Business continuity planning (BCP) is the process involved in creating a system of prevention and recovery from potential threats to a business organization. The plan ensures that personnel and assets are protected and are able to function quickly in the event of a disaster due to natural causes or human-made mistakes. The important elements of Business continuity process involves defining any and all risks that can affect the company's operations, making it an important part of the organization's risk management strategy. Risks may include natural disasters like fire, flood, or weather-related events, Power outages and cyber-attacks. Once the risks identified, BCP strategic steps must involve how those risks will affect operations, implementing safeguards and procedures to mitigate the risks and reviewing the process to make sure that it is up to date.

Business continuity & Disaster recovery planing
Disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity planning (BCP) are important for organizations to plan for disasters and disruptions. A DR plan provides procedures to recover IT capabilities at an alternate site after a disaster. A BCP addresses risks to business processes and prepares an organization to continue essential operations. Both plans aim to minimize downtime and losses. Key components of DR plans include establishing recovery teams, developing procedures, training, and arranging alternate IT resources. BCP components involve identifying critical resources, conducting risk and impact analyses, and developing prevention, mitigation and recovery strategies. Maintaining and testing plans is important to ensure preparedness for disasters.

The document discusses building customized investment strategies using an "alpha philosophy". It describes a two-phase process: Phase I ports an investment manager's alpha return to a cash-like return by shorting the market component. Phase II then reintroduces desired market exposure through futures or swaps to create new "synthetic" market-based strategies while retaining the original alpha. The process aims to offer alternative ways for managers to build specialty products and help pension funds achieve overall alpha and risk goals.

Introduction
Disaster recovery and business continuity planning are separate but related concepts. In fact, disaster recovery is part of business continuity.
Disaster recovery (DR) concerns the recovery of the technical components of your business, such as computers, software, the network, data, and so on.
Business continuity planning (BCP) includes disaster recovery along with procedures to restore business operations and the underlying functionality of the business infrastructure needed to support the business, along with the resumption of the daily work of the people in your workplace. Business continuity planning is vital to keeping your business running and to providing a return to “business as usual” during a disaster.

What Constitutes a Disaster?
A disaster is defined as a “sudden, unplanned calamitous event causing great damage or loss” or “any event that creates an inability on an organization’s part to provide critical business functions for some predetermined period of time.”
With this general definition in mind, the disaster recovery planner or business continuity professional would sit down with all the principals in the organization and map out what would constitute a disaster for that organization. This is the initial stage

Key Features of Effective Business Continuity Plan
No leader wants to think about all the ways in which their businesses might be disrupted but, as the saying goes, failing to plan is akin to planning to fail. Disasters can strike at any moment and without warning, and long-term disruptions can drag on for much longer than anyone may have anticipated. From natural catastrophes to lasting disruption due to far-reaching changes in the market, the best approach to mitigation is a rock-solid business continuity plan.

A Disaster Recovery Plan is a documented process, and structured approach with instructions that details steps a business will take to recover from an unplanned catastrophic event. IBM highly relies on Information Technology to quickly and effectively process information, and most of its operations are computerized. As such, an IT disaster recovery plan for IBM should be well aligned with the business continuity plan. This is mostly known as risk assessment or threat analysis. Below are resources for documenting a disaster recovery plan for IBM Information Technology infrastructure.
Hardware and Peripheral devices
This generally includes any auxiliary device that is connected and works in conjunction with the computer, such as printers and scanners. When evaluating the hardware, one should determine the risk of losing the machine entirely and damage through hardware failure. The company computer systems may also be at risk of contracting viruses if employees are allowed to go home with laptops or consultants and vendors are allowed to plug in their Personal computers into IBM systems.
Email and Data exchanges
IBM uses shared computers and local area network which is generally a network of computers that share a communication line or wireless link to a server. This puts the company at risk of losing shared applications and information such as inventory control and payrolls. Sharing files using LANs may also lead to contraction of computer viruses and a slow down on the entire company network hence business interruptions. Emails shared through computers in the facility must also be evaluated when determining the risk.
Software Applications
IBM uses end-user programs designed to perform a group of coordinated functions for the fast and effective running of operations. These programs include word processors, spreadsheets, database programs and web browsers. All these programs are a source of vital information while developing a disaster management plan. Theft of software from the facility could be detrimental to the company and may even lead to lawsuits.
IP Addresses
The company internet protocol addresses act as a host or network interface identification. Despite the proxies and anonymity that exist to protect IP addresses, careless setups and gaps on the company’s security firewall could invite unwanted guests. Hackers may use the company IP address to send or retrieve information from the IBM computers.
VPN and Server Access
An evaluation on virtual private networks (VPNs) is necessary for ensuring the protection of private and confidential data. However, hackers may be able to spot weaknesses and stea.

Most companies till now doesn't have any backout or disaster plan in their list. It's tough to grow higher and even a cyberattack can damage their information, money, stock price, customers and reputation. All this need to be demolished by having few key elements as part of their business plan called Business Continuity Planning (BCP). We will discuss more about the elements in BCP.
Firstly, create a planning team - depends on the size of the team that includes all the required employees. Next one is perform a analysis on the business products - its key that the we always need to analyze if we need to alter any improvements and also, to calculate the impact for loss, interruption or discretion. Migitate risks and effective testing - testing always helps to find any security flaws and we can migitate the cyber risks.
Crisis communications and employee safety - these are very important because if a company hit by any cyber threat, communication should be fast and everyone must be updated and must be on the same page. At this moment, employee safety also comes into the picture as companies need to train them properly during these disasters operations.
Establishment of the business continuity strategies and access to the business resources - Companies must create certain strategies based on the business impact analysis results, their goals, objectives, maintenance of supplier relationships and with policies and standards. Finally, IT operations at off-site locations, companies which are beware of these ransomware attacks, having storing their data as a backup in the offsite centers. This makes a better plan rather than thinking about the lost data and how to recover it - which cannot be done during the current times.

The document discusses how investing in well-known, dividend-paying companies can generate high returns over the long run. It cites research showing that the top 10 performing stocks from the original S&P 500 provided an average annual return of over 15% despite being large, well-established companies. These strong returns were achieved through reinvesting dividends over time. The article argues that dividend stocks provide a stable foundation for long-term portfolios and are suitable for retirement accounts.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
