Business continuity and disaster recovery are critical for any company, but especially for financial institutions (banks, savings associations, credit unions, and trust companies). A good business continuity plan (BCP) should help a company or institution avoid losses as well as return to normal operations as soon as possible if an adverse event or disaster were to occur.

Beyond Secure offers online business continuity planning service to facilitate the development and maintenance of a Business Continuity Plan/Disaster Recovery Plan, following FFIEC, FDIC, OCC, FRB, and NCUA guidance. Use the service to prepare for adverse events such as natural disasters, biological pandemics, technological failures, human error, terrorism, and cyber-attacks.
