<p><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:20px">Crucial Requirements:</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Do we identify maximum allowable downtime for critical business functions, acceptable levels of data loss and backlogged transactions, RTOs, RPOs, recovery of the critical path (i.e., business processes or systems that should receive the highest priority), and the costs associated with downtime? Are the approved thresholds appropriate?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Does Business Continuity Management take a holistic business-focused view and is it able to handle the consequences of an increasingly global business/ product eco-system in an increasingly regulated environment?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">The nature of disasters has also changed: who could have imagined in 2001 that civilian passenger airplanes would be used as a weapon of war; what potential disasters do you incorporate in BCM?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Media are interested in knowing and communicating about how firms respond to a crisis. Do you have answers to questions as were they ready for the disaster or they were caught by surprise?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Assess executive managements involvement and commitment to the plan and resulting programs. Has executive management assigned a qualified plan administrator to promote an effective plan?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Has specific responsibility been assigned for the execution of business continuity and disaster recovery plans (either within or outside of the information security function)?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Has the organization established an enterprise-wide business continuity/disaster recovery program that is consistent with FISMA requirements, OMB policy, and applicable NIST guidelines?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">The subject of succession planning in the context of disasters is an unpleasant one: If key managers or employees die in a disaster, who will step up and fulfill their responsibilities?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Processing time availability-assuming that other clients are also using the same recovery site, how much processing time is the institution entitled to on a particular computer system?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Do you assess the severity of the impact caused by the disruption on the business; the guiding question is: to what extent will business activities be damaged if the disruption occurs?</span></span><br />
