  5. Avoiding Disasters • Monitor/Planning • COBIT • Identify possible disaster scenarios • Quality Control • R.A.I.D • Redundant Array of Independent Discs- P drives on COB server

  6. Contingency plans • Provides step-by-step information in a disaster • Identify key risks • Creates a plan that is practical • Creates a RACI chart to notify individuals • Provides testing and maintenance plans to ensure recovery

  7. Example of Contingency plan

  8. Redundant systems • Good hardware, employees and software • Back-up Systems • All data need to be saved • Constantly • Prioritize tasks and data • Save and archive all important data • Store back-ups in different locations • Extra space • Always more storage than you will ever need

  9. Notification systems • All systems need notification • Allows individuals to know when a problem has occurred • Wall monitors send out signals • ALL NOTIFICATION SHOULD BE TESTED • RACI Chart • All individuals know responsibilities in an event of an emergency

  10. Example of a Notification System

  11. Example RACI chart

  12. Example RACI chart

  13. Drills/Tests • Train and over train all individuals • Time all results • Diversify plans for testing (different times, days) • Consistency • Should tests be run during peak times?

  14. Security • Network Security policies • Firewalls • Anti-virus • Spy-ware • All of the above must be updated, tested and proven effective
