KCG understands the significance of sound continuity planning to ensure the government’s ability to perform its mission, and is experienced in developing a comprehensive plan to ensure that an agency operates seamlessly in the face of an unplanned event. Our approach to continuity planning consists of first conducting a business impact analysis to understand the potential impacts of a disaster or significant unplanned outage, and then – once the full scope of the impact is understood – we conduct a risk analysis to understand the likelihood of each scenario or event. The risk analysis becomes the basis for creating plans to guide the restoration of services and to ensure a smooth transition from normal to recovery operations.

Creating a comprehensive continuity plan can be an enormous and complex task and is often overlooked or understated within an organization. KCG appreciates the importance of ensuring adequate protection of organizational assets, and develops contingency plans which can be used for a wide range of recovery scenarios.
