Downtime and loss of data, even if temporary, can have long-lasting effects for business and can contribute to the demise of the otherwise well-managed business:

  • Loss of revenue from your customers' inability to do business with you
  • Diminished market credibility and customer trust, resulting in churn
  • Penalties for violated SLAs with partners, suppliers, distributors, and franchisees
  • Costs of recovering and repairing the lost data
  • Legal costs of meeting internal and external compliance requirements

CIOs and Business Continuity Managers should plan for all situations in which normal operations are disrupted and have practices and technologies in place that enable them to deal with potential disruption from hostile, external actions as well as internal system failures.

Business Continuity Defined

Business continuity planning is a process that help organizations prepare for disruptive events—whether those event might include a hurricane or simply a power outage caused by a backhoe in the parking lot.

The CIO's involvement in this process can range from overseeing the plan, to providing input and support, to putting the plan into action during an emergency.

Business continuity planning is now accepted as basics requirement for every business and organization. It is widely accepted that a detailed business continuity plan should not only exist, but should be up to date. It should reflect the actual on-going needs of the business activity or function. But how do you ensure that this is actually the case?

If you have a plan, do you know that it will all work? Do you ever audit it, and if so, how? Equally importantly, do you know what your service/resource dependencies are and what their time criticalities are? What of your everyday contingency practices - do they measure up to close scrutiny?
