Emergency Response and Disaster Recovery Consulting

Emergency Response planning, when coupled with Disaster Recovery planning, outlines a road map for your organization to quickly recover and restore critical operational functions after an unexpected event. These events can include potential natural, environmental, technological, and man-made threats. We use the NIST 800-30 methodology to identify the most likely threat sources and create threat pairs based on impact and risk to operations. For each risk that poses a significant impact to operations, we identify the need for a specific Emergency Response to that risk. These individual response plans are merged into a unified Emergency Response Plan that includes clear instructions for the Incident Response team to follow. The planning process is a key deliverable that forces managers and their staff to explore viable options that can be employed in the event of an emergency or disaster. These contingencies can ultimately help to save lives, reduce property loss, as well as lessen an organization's potential liability. The Disaster Recovery Planning work helps identify the all of the critical systems required for operations to continue. This plan also includes the backup and recovery process for each system. Our team identifies each critical system (hardware, software, and network devices), and the acceptable downtime for each system.
