CRGT

As IT systems become increasingly critical to the fulfillment of government agency mission objectives, the importance of ensuring the continued operation and rapid recovery of those systems increases as well. CRGT is an industry leader in Disaster Recovery (DR) preparedness, Continuation of Operations (COOP) planning, and Business Continuity Management (BCM), enabling your organization to meet its security and stability needs, even in the most complex IT environments.

We tailor our comprehensive COOP/DR plans to satisfy your specific requirements and service level agreements (SLAs). After developing the best strategy for meeting the your needs, CRGT performs all tasks associated with designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining COOP/DR in the event of an inadvertent loss of services, natural disaster, cyber crime, or act of war.

We provide high-availability solutions at optimal performance levels with short recovery times for unplanned outages and minimal outages during scheduled maintenance. Our hot failover and active/active designs ensure smooth and efficient COOP during and after incidents. Implementing industry best practices, CRGT’s highly-skilled and experienced staff provides the following COOP/DR solutions:

• Risk Evaluation and Business Impact Analysis – CRGT assesses your business operations and performs a comprehensive risk evaluation. These services range from determining your organization’s risk tolerance, to identifying specific safeguards to reduce the likelihood of incidents. Our analysis includes the identification and prioritization of critical systems, their interdependencies, and recovery priorities. We then help you clearly understand what risks you face, the potential impact of those risks, and the most effective method of preventing or mitigating those risks.
• Business Continuity Management (BCM) Programs – We understand that growing budget constraints do not reduce the need for BCM. We work closely with your organization, providing expert management support and a keen awareness of the need for emergency preparedness. In addition, we manage the processes and functions required to support your BCM framework. Many government agencies already have established business continuity plans. CRGT evaluates existing readiness to respond to emergencies and helps to improve those processes, thereby allowing the organization to return to normal operations more quickly, or to avoid interruptions to service all together.
• COOP/DR Training Programs – Planning alone does not ensure that an organization can sustain critical operations during an emergency. The key to successful BCM is proper training. CRGT’s comprehensive COOP/DR training programs ensure that your staff is prepared to respond whenever disasters may occur.
• Business Continuity Exercise and Auditing – CRGT keeps your COOP/DR plans current and relevant by establishing regular exercise programs to document the effectiveness of existing emergency preparedness plans. By auditing the results and providing management reviews, we validate compliance with organization standards, and provide continuous improvement to your organization’s Business Continuity Management plans.
