Alternate Business Procedures
Providing alternate business procedures, in the case of a disruptive event that impacts primary methods of performance, will enable the organization to continue to meet minimum objectives.
Alternate Staff
Utilizing secondary or temporary staff may be necessary to aid in the recovery of business activities in the event of severe absenteeism.
Alternate Workspace
Renting or purchasing temporary, secondary workspace will enable employees to continue carrying out business activities in the event that a facility or office is lost or unavailable.
Manual Workarounds
Developing and documenting manual workarounds will enable your employees to continue with critical business activities while automated machinery, processes or technologies are unavailable.
Off-Site Supplies
Retaining adequate supplies off-site will expedite process recovery by eliminating the lead time that would be necessary to acquire such supplies at the time of the incident.
Redundant/Off-Site Equipment
Retaining identical or similar backup equipment and resources can expedite recovery in the case that critical machinery malfunctions or becomes unavailable.
Work At Home Capabilities
Allowing and equipping employees to work from home in the event of a facility or office loss can enable critical business activities to be recovered even if your physical building cannot. The success of this recovery procedure depends heavily on training and testing before an event to ensure each employee possesses the needed resources.
