Business Continuity Program Portal

Business Continuity Planning in the Cloud: The Lighthouse Business Continuity Program Portal (BCPP)

Lighthouse's Business Continuity Program Portal (BCPP) is a cloud-based solution that satisfies and simplifies your Business Continuity Planning (BCP) requirements. By offering an online, hosted service, Lighthouse's BCPP provides you with an innovative solution to your BCP needs, while reducing the complexity, costs and time associated with its ongoing management. As a best practice for Business Continuity Planning, migrating your BCP to an off-site hosted platform allows key members of your staff to remotely access the plan 24x7x365 in the event of a disaster or other disruption at your primary business location.

According to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), BCP encompasses much more than just a plan; BCP represents a complete, cyclical, process-oriented program that includes a business impact analysis, a risk assessment, risk management, and risk monitoring and testing, as well as policies and procedures for ongoing maintenance, testing and training.

Managing a comprehensive BCP program is a complex and expensive task. Without a continually updated, enterprise-wide BCP that considers all critical elements of your business, your organization may not be able to resume customer service at an acceptable level in the event of disruption.

Lighthouse BCPP offers many advantages over traditional on-premise BCPs:

	Lighthouse BCPP in the Cloud	Traditional On-Premise BCP
COST OF ENTRY	Low	High
IMPLEMENTATION TIME	Weeks	Months
EASE OF AUDIT	Simple	Complex
STAFF TRAINING NEEDS	Minor	Major
SECURE ONLINE ACCESS TO BCP	Included in subscription	Additional cost
AUDITED TO FFIEC EXAMINERS GUIDELINES	FFIEC–Ready solution	Additional cost and time

THE FFIEC-READY SOLUTION

Lighthouse's cloud-based BCPP not only meets FFIEC requirements, but also provides your organization's Plan Administrator with a much easier and more comprehensive way to manage your ongoing BCP requirements. As opposed to other online solutions, Lighthouse's BCPP is "FFIEC-Ready" and has been audited according to the FFIEC Federal Examiners Guidelines. Lighthouse's BCPP also offers greater ease-of-use, a simplified setup and ongoing maintenance, as all of the control and management functions are within a single, integrated cloud-based portal. As part of the BCPP offering, Lighthouse's Certified IT Auditors provide your staff with an annual training program and an annual audit, both of which are required by the FFIEC.

The BCPP gives your Plan Administrator a comprehensive view of their BCP elements. For example, all plan changes report "Pending" until "Approval" status is granted.
