InfoSec Advisors can conduct a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning engagement that helps you develop a plan for preventing and when necessary, recover from various crises that may impact your organization. Our aim is to develop and deliver effective solutions for your organization that balance the value of continuing normal business operations versus the costs of potential losses and downtime. Our planning process examines addressable risks and vulnerabilities and emphasizes your ability to continue to operate normally versus having to recover from catastrophic events that could impact your business. We also work to develop executable plans to speed recovery from disruptions that are unavoidable and apply to most organizations.
Business Continuance Planning includes:
- IT Asset Discovery
