Business Continuity Services

Develop a Business Continuity Plan that ensures continuous operations and quick recovery from disruptions.

Compass IT Compliance, LLC develops business continuity solutions that ensure an organization will provide a continuous service that satisfies business requirements and that minimize the business impact in the event of a major disruption.

Business Impact Analysis

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifies the effects that a service disruption or disaster would have on your business functions. Compass' BIA identifies:

• The finite number of business units (BU) and the manager of each
  
• The Business Process Owners (BPO) for all “key/critical” business processes in each BU
  
• The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for each “key/critical” business process
  
• The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for each “key/critical” business process
  
• The Recovery Strategic Objective (RSO) for each “key/critical” business process
  
• All dependencies (Network, Application, User, Interface, Other) for all “key/critical” business processes in each BU
  
• The impact over time on each “key/critical” business process
  
• All of the “key/critical” business processes in each BU prioritized by importance
