First, to answer your question - I'm not familiar with Perimeter Technology. I actually visited a commercial hotsite that did not have a redundant power...
Our company has just merged with another larger company of the same type. We are a chain of retail/wholesale auto parts stores. I have been asked to determine...
Good Morning Bill That is a difficult problem. First, I suggest conducting a BIA to determine which applications directly impact/generate revenue, to include...
I agree with Bob Cohen on where to start, but you may want to have the requestor of the downtime figures explain more about what they are looking for. Being...
You need to do a Business Impact Analysis for the systems at that location. Â First you need to determine what applications run from there, then find out from...

I read BSI 25999-1 and BSI 25999-2. I found them both lacking in everything but price. For my money, NFPA 1600 (and variations on that theme) do a better...
John I completely agree with you. If ASIS is going through this (in my opinion) unnecessary effort because they feel NFPA isn't auditable, seems to me their...

I'm in agreement with both John and Howard. I think they are saying similar things in different ways (the ever present difficulty interpreting the written...
Most business managers first think that they must have an RPO of point-of- interruption, but quickly change their minds when they see the associated costs. In...
