CU*Answers Business Continuity Plan
More on Business Continuity Planning:
The CU*Answers Business Continuity Plan is our roadmap for continuing operations under adverse conditions (i.e. interruptions from natural or man-made hazards).
Components of our Business Continuity Plan include:
Emergency Response Plan- Our plan to identify potential disruptions, ensure safety of all building occupants, alert recovery teams, perform initial damage assessment, and establish command/control
- High Availability Recovery Plan
- Our plan to roll core-processing services to the HA data center
- Hot Site Recovery Plan
- Our plan to recover core processing services at an alternate hot site facility
- IT Recovery Plan
- Our plan to recover systems and applications not included in the HA or Hot Site Recovery Plan
- Crisis Communications Plan
- Our plan to establish and maintain communications with recovery teams, key stakeholders, and media throughout the event
- Business Resumption Plan
- Our plan to resume critical business functions at an alternate facility
- Business Restoration Plan
- Our plan to restore all business functions at a permanent facility
The Business Continuity Plan is regularly reviewed by internal and external auditors as well as by senior management.
Each plan is revised every six months to reflect:
- Changes in potential threats or risks
- Changes in business operations, functions, or processes
- Changes in system or network architecture
- Audit recommendations
- Lessons learned from tests, exercises, and events
Education classes are offered and training exercises are required to properly train CU*Answers staff on their roles and responsibilities during recovery efforts to improve our preparedness for the next unplanned event.
