The foundation for a secure, reliable plan
The first step in developing a business continuity plan is critical: You need an accurate picture of where you are now. Corus’ expert assessments determine all the risks that might affect your organization.
Risk factors
You discover what issues make the business vulnerable in the event of a disaster. Corus will provide a complete picture of:
- Factors in the external environment that are out of management’s control but could have a serious impact, such as a facility’s nearness to an earthquake zone
- Factors that management can control, such as security and HR issues
- Laws or regulations that bear special consideration, for example, federal regulations that mandate protection of confidential information
Regulatory compliance
Corus will assess your organization’s compliance with federal regulations, especially:
- The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which affects all publicly traded U.S. firms. This mandates accurate financial reporting and establishes safeguards to ensure the safety and accuracy of data.
- The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which affects all U.S. healthcare organizations that have access to patient data.
Gap analysis
A risk assessment by Corus also reveals discrepancies between your business continuity expectations and actual measured results. This gap analysis evaluates what your company has compared to what you think it has.
Corus gives you a clear road map of where the company needs to go. You learn the specific goals the organization must meet to be ready.
