Business Continuity Consulting
Business Process Consulting
Training Services
BDA Global's continuity consulting practice focuses on providing clients with
the following services:
Business Continuity Planning/Continuity of Operations Planning Services:
Risk Assessment:
The Risk assessment is conducted to determine quantitative and qualitative risk of an
organization. BDA consultants use primary data, simulation and modeling techniques to
conduct the Risk Assessment.
GAP Analysis:
The GAP Analysis is conducted in order to understand documented and implemented procedures
within the organization. The analysis consists of a review of infrastructure and existing
BCP/DR/COOP plans, as well as an examination of any prior analyses such as community impact
analysis and risk mitigations that might have been performed in the past. The analysis will
preliminarily identify data and voice infrastructure, and redundancy vulnerabilities, as
appropriate.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA):
BDA Global uses its Business Impact Analysis software tool
CONTINUUM to conduct its
clients' BIA. The BIA is a diagnostic of the organization and provides all of the data
necessary to develop a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan. CONTINUUM, a survey tool,
is used to identify critical functions, processes, venders, vital records and resources.
Business Continuity Planning/COOP plan development:
A robust BCP or COOP development requires a corporate or overarching BCP/COP as well as
departmental BCPs. These include command and control infrastructure, emergency response
planning, escalation procedures for activation and departmental or office plans.
Disaster Recovery (DR) Planning:
A Disaster Recovery Plan dictates how and when technology would be restored after any
type of disruption and defines how to continue critical information technology (IT)
systems and operations and to prepare to respond to disasters.
BCP Training and Awareness:
A robust BCP is a critical, but first step to insuring organizational preparedness. A
BCP becomes actionable, only when its personnel know how to use it! This is why BCP
Training and Awareness are a critical step towards comprehensive preparedness. BDA Consultants
will devise a Training and Awareness plan that suits the specific organization's needs.
Services range from training sessions for key personnel, to innovative techniques to insure
that all employees are ready to respond and know how to follow plan protocol after any type
of disruption.
BCP Testing:
A BCP must be tested in order to insure that it is actionable. BDA consultants will help
your organization develop and implement testing exercises that include tabletops, drill,
functional tests for organizations and stakeholders and simulations. BDA consultants can
design tests to meet federal NIMS requirements.
BCP Audit:
Many agencies and companies decide to focus attention on developing a comprehensive BCP/COOP
in response to audit recommendations. BDA consultants are familiar with BCP/DR audits and
will help clients develop BCP plans that meet all regulations and standards.
