Business Continuity Planning

Organizations face a wide range of threats to their business continuity, some deliberately targeted like terrorism, cyber attacks and some as a result of external events—weather related—hurricanes, storms, and pandemic. Increasingly regulators, investors and stakeholders are seeking assurance that companies have plans in place to minimize any disruption from unforeseen circumstances. Simply stated—this is an issue that organizations no longer can afford to ignore. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 93% of companies that experience a significant data loss will be out of business within five years. As a result of the variety of weather conditions in the Gulf Coast area, businesses here are even more vulnerable to disruptions.

Global Times uses a proven methodology to conduct risk analysis, develop strategy and plan; and test the plan. Global Times has implemented BCP at multiple diverse organizations to support enterprise recovery programs that allow them to get back into business as quickly as possible while protecting the assets and people of the organization.
