AMERICAN SYSTEMS is dedicated to helping our client organizations plan, design, test, and recommend solutions that help protect operations against unforeseen business disruptions. Our methodology is based on the Business Continuity Institute Good Practice Guidelines; we map critical processes to business risks and identify vital records for protection and availability.
Our solutions help our clients evaluate preparedness, identify operational risk, and define specific continuity needs and objectives while integrating security and privacy into business continuity processes. Our business continuity management deliverables address our client’s needs at the enterprise level. We begin with a comprehensive and thorough business impact analysis that establishes a baseline of mission critical systems and applications, identifies financial loss potential and operational impacts, and defines recovery time and recovery point objectives.
We use the information gathered during the business impact analysis phase to build recovery strategies that focus on organizational and process level functions. Our strategies and plans include policies and procedures for incident management, crisis management, resumption planning, third party risk management, testing, and maintenance. Once we have established the strategies, we construct a full business continuity plan and train our clients on the new requirements and changes to the business process and system environment. Our training facilitates business continuity management cultural change that is fundamental to successful implementation. Our consultants combine industry specific knowledge and management and technical expertise to offer our clients a comprehensive business continuity solution. We align our clients’ business needs with appropriate services that enable our clients to prepare for unexpected business disruptions so that they can mitigate operational and regulatory risks.
