Prepare to Respond and Recover

Well-known disasters – 9/11, hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as regional power failures – have made companies aware of catastrophic risks. However, too many companies are still coming up short when it comes to contingency planning. Some limit the scope to IT backup solutions and “hot sites,” while many businesses end up shuttered (sometimes permanently) because of business process disruptions that have little to do with IT.

The costs of planning ahead far outweigh the costs of getting caught off-guard. Our approach to contingency planning starts with a business impact analysis of loss of critical systems/processes and ends with a road map for timely response and recovery.

We help businesses with business continuity, disaster recovery and incident response plans. Crowe Horwath LLP helps you weigh risk-response scenarios vs. the likelihood and costs involved. Crowe helps you test your plans, update them, and get both IT and business stakeholders involved to make them work.

Crowe provides comprehensive contingency solutions that encompass technology as well as process disruption. In addition, our firm has a strong understanding of the growing number of industry regulations requiring contingency planning. Increasingly, top management and boards of directors have a fiduciary duty to understand and support contingency plans. Crowe can show you how.
