Why does your organization need Contingency Planning?
A multitude of laws and regulations specify or imply requirements for Business Continuity Plan
(BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP). These requirements vary among industry sectors,
affecting the development, focus and execution of business continuity plans.
As per research document published by Gartner in July 2005, Gartner analysts looked at four industry sectors — healthcare, government, finance and utilities— to determine which laws and regulations most influenced BCP/DRP in these sectors.
Our Contingency Plan templates canl help you to comply with regulations and standards like HIPAA, JCAHO, FDA, SOX, FISMA, COOP & COG, FFIEC, Basel II, NIST and ISO 17799.
Contingency Plan Requirement for HIPAA
The HIPAA Security Rule 164.308(a)(7)(i) identifies Contingency Plan as a standard under Administrative Safeguards. Contingency Planning means the overall process of developing an approved set of arrangements and procedures to insure your business can respond to a disaster and resume its critical business functions within a required time frame objective. The primary objective is to reduce the level of risk and cost to you and the impact on your staff, customers and suppliers.
