  Continuity of Operations   
  The Protiviti family of companies has been providing continuity-related services to clients of nearly all sectors and sizes since 2002. While most Protiviti clients are large international organizations, we have also served many smaller organizations in the government, not-for-profit and other industry sectors to handle crisis management, business resumption planning and IT disaster recovery planning.

Protiviti views Business Continuity Management as four inter-related disciplines:
  1. Business Process Recovery - The process initiated to resume business operations to a level consistent with the business requirements.
  2. IT Disaster Recovery - The recovery of information technology processes, systems, applications, databases, and network assets used to support critical business processes.
  3. Crisis Management & Communications - A series of actions taken to gain control of the event quickly to minimize the effects of an interruption and prepare for recovery.
  4. Pandemic Risk Management - The design, development and implementation of pandemic preparation and response plans.
Protiviti Expertise:

Protiviti's continuity consulting leaders have contributed significantly to the creation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency course on Continuity of Operations (COOP). Protiviti has also developed a dedicated continuity program assessment for federal agencies that agrees with Federal Preparedness Circular-65 (FPC-65). Protiviti's planning tool is easily adapted to the requirements of FPC-65, including assistance in understanding relationships between essential functions, key personnel and facilities to address and external resources necessary for the department/agency to develop a sustainable COOP program.
