Information-- Management & Protection

Information in all its forms is a key asset of the enterprise.  Lost information is difficult or often impossible to recover. Regulations mandated by legislative bodies, executive orders, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the FDA, the FFIEC, the OCC, HIPAA, NASD, and the SEC impact the retention and availability requirements of data for certain businesses.  These regulations, coupled with sound business practices, drive the need to properly safeguard information under normal working conditions, as well as in the event of a disaster.

Management & Protection of information, both hard copy and electronic, through a comprehensive Vital Records program driven by the needs of the business, including regulatory requirements, are necessary to ensure availability of business information. Making records and data available when and where needed at time of crisis is paramount to business resiliency. Information Management & Protection are key criteria in all accepted standards and guidelines and regulations (i.e. BS 25999, ANSI NFPA 1600, FFIEC, HIPAA, NASD & NYSE) for best practices in Business Continuity Management.
