Solution
Ascendum combines three of its internal groups to offer the client Disaster Recovery (DR) services that are more representative of a full business continuity plan. Infrastructure Engineers, Security Engineers and Business Analysts work in tandem during our DR engagements to ensure that all aspects of the business and IT needs are represented. Our DR assessment provides the necessary understanding of current risks, value of those risks, and planned remediations should a critical system fail. In addition, Ascendum can review existing testing or develop industry standard testing for all aspects of your DR plan. Ascendum's DR services range from review of existing plans to multiple DR plan consolidation to full plan development.
Client Challenges
Ascendum's DR services can answer the following questions:
- What are the risks if my firm experiences a major disaster?
- What is the financial impact of all of my critical business services?
- Does my staff know what to do in the event of an incident?
- What are my legal responsibilities in the event of an incident?
- If an event occurs, how long will my critical business services be down?
- Is my DR plan adequate to fulfill my compliance needs?
- Can I assure my clients that the services they depend on me to provide will continue in the event of a major or minor disaster?
Business Value
By implementing a solid DR plan, an organization can fully understand its risks and business impacts, should critical business systems fail. Additionally, through staff education and continued testing, your firm can understand potential events and their indicators and act on the appropriate incident response plan in an organized fashion. By partnering with Ascendum, a firm can establish a proactive stance that ensures critical business services and compliance at minimal cost.
