Raising the Bar with

resilience and cohesive continuity for organizations and their
vendors
This white paper was first released at
the BSI Communication Days in Chicago, held on March 11, where Lisa DuBrock,
Managing Partner of The Radian Group was the guest speaker.
 The Radian Group and MK Business
Solutions chose to focus on vendor compliancy for their first white paper to
bring awareness to both the organization faced with managing a complex array of
vendors and suppliers to the actual vendor themselves, concerned with excessive
costs and resource drain managing the compliant requirements being sent down
from their customers.

Continuity Management Systems that aligns with the BS 25999
and ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standards as well as incorporates
the Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII)
Ten Professional Practices for Business Continuity
Professionals.
Through Radian’s proven track record, based on 12 years,

Non-for-Profit, Manufacturing and Software Companies, we have
developed a methodology which allows for the creation of
customized management systems based on a clients Risk and
Business Impact Assessments.
Radian’s methodology for designing a Business Continuity
Management System for its clients comes in part from our
Director’s firsthand experience of having to activate a
continuity plan. This gives our team invaluable lessons to share
with our clients to truly ‘Expect the Unexpected’. Our
methodology revolves first around the people within a client’s
organization and emphasizes a response and recovery effort based
on critical business process and the employees, vendors,
customers, technology and information required to meet the needs
of its clients and their valuable stakeholders.

Is your Business Continuity Plan ready to protect your
business environment as it stands today?
Of all the disruptions that your organization may face—an attack
by a skilled hacker, an employee breaching sensitive data, an
ex-contractor copying a client list—the shutdown of a production
system can be the most harrowing. For your organization, it’s an
obvious source of stress and a severe disruption of the
business: Customers can’t enter orders, accounts receivable
aren’t processed and accounts payable can’t run.
 While there are numerous disaster recovery planning tools in the
marketplace that can be used to structure a recovery effort,
what is often overlooked is the plan’s functional use. In other
words, does it work when it really has to? Does it have a
detailed step-by-step plan to cover the recovery of all critical
files? All good recovery plans should, but are the steps on your
plan up to date, timely, and accurate? The Radian Group has the
skilled professionals ready to look at your prior Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning efforts, and ensure
they WORK for your business and protect your bottom-line.
What is defined as a Disaster for IT and your Organization?
The Disaster Recovery Institute’ (DRI) states “a disaster is
a sudden, unplanned calamitous event that creates an inability
on an organizations part to provide the critical business
functions for some predetermined period of time which results in
loss of data, personnel, business or time."
The Radian Group’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
certified planning specialists will aid in designing a secure
and manageable plan for your company in the event of a Disaster.
