KEY COMPONENTS OF RENESOURCE CAPITAL BCM PROGRAM
Risk Analysis and Review
This process provides an analysis of the types of risk events that can interrupt business processes and is used to establish risk prevention and mitigation measures. It is also used in the business continuity planning stage to build resilient business continuity plans. Risk Analysis and Review provides a good basis for designing and carrying out simulation exercises and tests for verification of the BCM’s effectiveness.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
BIA identifies critical and non-critical business processes/functions and offers a better understanding of each business unit’s recovery requirements, as well as costs related to the downtime, financial or reputational etc. impact on the company.
The BIA aids in identifying the Recovery Time Objective (RTO/application restoration) and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO/data restoration) and the minimum level of services and/or products that are acceptable to Renesource Capital in order to achieve its business objectives during an incident, emergency/disaster or business interruption. Based on the results of the BIA, the business unit formulates viable business recovery strategies to ensure the availability of their critical activities and processes at an acceptable RTO, RPO level and timeframes.
Business Continuity Plans (BCP)
All business units are required to have a BCP in place that is appropriate to the nature and scale of the business. The departmental BCP documents planned actions and responses to an emergency situation, its recovery of critical activities/processes, and identifies how it will restore business activities back to its normal state of operations based on approved recovery strategies.
Recovery Facilities
Key Renesource Capital business units and IT Operations processing locations have dedicated recovery facilities, that are located at a substantial distance from the primary office. The main principle is to duplicate, as much as possible, the functions and workflow processes that are in place.
Training
Training is developed and conducted by the BCM staff to establish and support a BCM culture at company. BCM training and awareness programs are categorized into three main areas: Basic, Management, and Specialized.
