Procedures are required for any scenario that is rated to have either a high
probability or high impact and procedures may be developed for other scenarios
as well.
Emergency procedures for the high-rated natural causes, human threats and
malicious activity are included in the Emergency Procedures section of the Plan.
Procedures for recovery of complete business functions are included in the Functional
Area Recovery Procedures section of the Plan. Procedures for recovery from all
technical threats are detailed in the Information Technology Recovery Procedures of the
Plan. Procedures for recovery of remote location locations are included in the Remote
Location Recovery Procedures section of the Plan.
Some scenarios that are not rated to have a high impact or high probability may actually
result in the need to follow either emergency procedures, such as a building evacuation,
or recovery procedures, such as restoring an electronic system. Defined procedures for
high probability/impact scenarios will be followed as appropriate should another
scenario not specifically addressed occur.
Assessment of Functions
Every Organization function and department has been considered and evaluated as to
the downtime allowable and recovery time objectives.
Functions have been
categorized according to the disruption that would be caused if the function were not
available and have been classified using the following categories.
Critical - the loss of the function would seriously jeopardize operations after one day
disruption of service
Essential - the loss of the function would seriously jeopardize operations after a one
week disruption of service
Non-Essential- the performance of the function is convenient and necessary to
customers and the Organization but the lack of such function does not seriously detract
from operating capabilities
