Avalution provides objective assistance with the design and selection of risk reduction and business continuity strategies, including crisis management, crisis communication, business resumption and IT disaster recovery strategies. Our analysis includes implications and cost estimates, with the objective of enabling the executive manager to elect to mitigate or accept the risk.
Our strategy identification process addresses threats to and the loss of key facilities, key people, equipment, technologies and business partners. This process takes into account the results from the risk assessment and business impact analysis so that strategy selection assumptions are valid and realistic. For example, the risk assessment, together with our strategy identification methodology, helps to define what an appropriate distance may be between primary and alternate facilities.
