Business Continuity Planning Paper
Business Continuity Implementation Planning
Phase 5 Individual Project
As the newest member of the network administration team for Online Goodies, an e-commerce company, we will describe how to implement the business continuity planning process that will include testing, process, and documentation maintenance of backup and recovery procedures for the company. Online Goodies network administration team will also describe the difference between risk analysis, business continuity planning, and a disaster recovery plan. We will also describe our assessment on how our prioritization will impact he need for IT systems, applications and data.
Business Impact analysis
Business impact analysis (BIA) is a very important essential component …show more content…
It includes components that show vulnerabilities and planning components to develop strategies for minimizing risk. The result of a BIA report describes the potential risks specific to Online Goodies. One of the basic assumptions behind BIA is that every component of the organization is dependent upon the functioning of every other component, but that some are more crucial than others and require a greater allocation of funds in the wake of a disaster. For example, Online Goodies may be able to continue more or less normally if the e-commerce system has maintenance issues, but would come to a complete stop if the information system crashes (M.

But before any steps are taken a meeting will be set to explain the steps required to start the DRP. A simulation will be done by each member doing a dry run to ensure that it is correct, when everything is complete the final steps will be in place to ensure every aspect of Online Goodies will be protected. Making a checklist is a mandatory step before any job is complete, all employees must create and complete a checklist of all tasks that need to be done during and after an event is to take place. Then parallel testing would be in place, because in the event that we change our systems all pertinent information will be protected and backed up by a dedicated server running all the same programs, this will protect all of Online Goodies information. Here at Online Goodies want to ensure our DRP is effective in any unlikely event a disaster would
