Just about a year ago I wrapped up a BIA for a client of about the same size as your organization. I conducted about 45Â sessions with the line management of...
Well hope this thread is still open. Quie debatable  the shorter the RTO, the more severe the impact  Yes, I think that this is right. As why should I have...
Just to complete this thread. Not all RTOs reflect the importance of that particular resource. Some reflect the dependence of another resource on the ...
I think that the way this is worded is misleading. Â It might be better to say "The more severe the impact of an outage over a given period of time, the more...
This is completely tongue - in-cheek, but the statement It might be better to say "The more severe the impact of an outage over a given period of time, the...
Here is a point to be noted as asserted by Kathleen. Currently not only IT, most of the business groups consider RTO from the point of official disaster...
Here's the way I look at the process where a disaster declaration is not obvious: Business interruption occurs that does not require the evacuation of the...
Apologies for dragging this back to the fore but I've only just caught up on the group mails.   Hopefully this is a a constructive comment and is perhaps of...
It's been my experience that the RTO is defined from the time of declaration. I believe most support contracts use that as the starting gun for SLAs. I...

Hi all, I'd like to hear from all of you opinions about the way or the methodology to make BCPs. In my point of view it would be better to make them based on...
My little bit.... 'Showing the reality' helps many times. Do some research on current/ existing arrangements; the type of disruptions faced with frequency and...
In my view, a business process may have few departments. We must take a holistic approach to built the plan. The BCP should take care of all the respective...

G'day Adolpho Yes - business process makes the most sense, especially when you consider that the process could move from one department to another. When that...
Dear Adolpho A department's BCM Plan will have contents based on the processes that it runs. Thanks & Regards Daman Dev Sood Head - Business Continuity...
Business continuity, per me, is process based. Â ID a profit center process and follow it from beginning (sometimes hard to define - proposal, sales effort)...
Adolpho, I can see that you have had a number of responses, here is my 2c worth. Were I work and also in previous organisations when I have been conducting...
Yes you have it right. Supporting the critical business processes and their supporting business functions should always be the basis of BC Plans. Once you have...
Or you might want to consider hiring a consultant who specializes in performing BIAs. Â It may seem expensive initially, but there can be much benefit to your...
Hi Brigitte Yes, it appears to have gone. I have attached it separately, and will see if David can repost online. Regards Howard Howard Kenny MBCI AAIPM M:...

Here, they break their desktop recovery requirements into <8 hrs, 8-24 hrs, 25-72 hrs, 4-7 days, 8-14 days 15-30 days. Honestly, it reminds me of old bcp...
I think it's still relevant, for the same reason the number of people/amount of workspace may incrementally increase over the recovery period and service ...
Personally, I agree with you. Desktops are part of the requirements for recovering functions and therefore really don't have RTOs in and of themselves.  ...
We don't fine it down that much, and I'm not sure anyone does. Mostly we just identify workstations (with image type) required immediately, in day 1, day 2,...
Yes I am speaking at DRJ, along with my colleagues Todd Young and Elizabeth Alexander. Â We are doing a presentation on conducting technical recovery...
I almost agree with you, Bob. In fact, the desktops "inherit" RTOs based on the functions they perform. So, we have to analyze and track the changing RTOs of...
