Memuta - putting the pieces together

Be ready for the unexpected.  Prevent losses and potential bankruptcy thanks to our disaster recovery plan prepared for Your company and understood by Your staff and Your customers.

The general interpretation of a disaster event includes flood, fire, earthquake etc. but should also include loss of key resources (people and other assets), suppliers, customers and credibility.  We conduct an analysis of your organisation to identify potential risks to ongoing business activities in the event of any form of unexpected disaster event.  Our unique Business Impact Analysis approach is not scenario-based.  It provides the foundation for a Recovery Strategy Definition statement which, in turn, is used to develop a comprehensive Crises Management Plan and/or Information Technology Recovery Plan.  We can also audit existing plans to ensure your Plans are kept up-to-date.

When you encounter the words “Disaster Event” do you think of flood, earthquake or similar?  Do you also think of any of the following:

• Loss of key employees or assets?
• Loss of key customers or suppliers?
• Incidents that may damage your organisation’s credibility or image?
• Inability to meet your organisation’s statutory or regulatory obligations?

There is no limit to the events that can have significant impact on your organisation’s ability to continue trading.  If a disaster event occurs, do you and your staff follow a comprehensive set of tested procedures that define what to do, and who to contact:

• Immediately;
• Within the following 24 hours;
• Within the following week;
• And beyond?

Memuta’s unique methodology is not scenario-based.  Instead, it anticipates the loss of any of your critical business elements, regardless of cause, which prevent or impede you from continuing normal business operations. Our approach is to:

• Identify the critical elements in your organisation that must be in place to ensure your organisation’s ability to conduct business operations;
• Prepare recovery strategies for each element, also defining the unique criteria to be met for initiating individual recovery strategies;
• Prepare alternate documented procedures that will support your business until your business can resume normal resumption of business activities;
• Prepare documented instructions to recover or replace the lost elements;
• Identify and train selected staff who will be responsible for maintaining their designated sections of the Business Continuity Plan to ensure its continued currency;
• Identify and train selected employees in executing the relevant and appropriate parts of the Business Continuity Plan;  and
• Prepare and conduct tests, involving all of part of your staff, to ensure that the recovery procedures meet the objectives set and remain current as time goes by.
