Continuity Assessment
InteQ's Business Continuity Assessment (BCA) analyzes the financial and operational impact of a major business disruption on the business. Also, the BCA assesses potential risks to the business and identifies risk reduction initiatives that will minimize or prevent business disruptions. The BCA is the first and most critical stage of successful business continuity planning. The information included in the BCA is used throughout the business continuity planning lifecycle to ensure that all planning initiatives are cost-effective and aligned with actual business requirements.
The Business Continuity Assessment includes the following deliverables:
Business Impact Analysis - Critical business processes and recovery time frames
Risk Assessment - Potential risks, level of threat and vulnerability
IT-MAP for Service Continuity
The Business Continuity Design defines a recovery strategy that will cost-effectively restore business services to minimum required levels and within the time frames as defined in the BCA.
Based upon the requirements defined in the BCA, Business Continuity Design
Defines appropriate recovery options
Provides a cost/benefit analysis of recovery options

InteQ takes people, process and technology into account in developing a Service Continuity Plan.

To support the overall Business Continuity Management process, IT Continuity Management must ensure that the required IT technical and services facilities can be recovered within required and agreed business time scales. InteQ's Continuity Management services use best practice guidance defined by ITIL (the IT Infrastructure Library) to design and implement cost-effective continuity strategies to meet business continuity requirements.
