Frequently Asked Questions about Business Continuity Services
How does Quest build a business continuity plan?
Quest’s business continuity consulting services begin with an assessment of critical business functions, IT infrastructure, and operational risks. Its consultants establish Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), then develop a customized business continuity plan to help organizations minimize downtime and recover from disruptions.
What should a business continuity plan include?
A business continuity plan (BCP) should identify critical operations, potential threats, recovery priorities, communication procedures, and employee responsibilities. It should also establish recovery timelines, data protection measures, and testing procedures. Quest’s business continuity planning services help organizations develop strategies tailored to their operational risks and recovery requirements.
What's the difference between business continuity and disaster recovery?
Business continuity focuses on maintaining essential operations during and after a disruption, while disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT systems, applications, and data. Disaster recovery forms part of a broader business continuity strategy. Quest provides business continuity solutions that combine operational planning, disaster recovery support, and business resumption facilities.
What is a business resumption center, and when does a company need one?
A business resumption center provides an alternative workspace where employees can continue essential operations when their primary location becomes unavailable. Companies may need one following natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or other disruptions. Quest offers secure facilities with configurable workspaces, workstations, communications systems, and network infrastructure.
What are RTO and RPO, and how do you set them?
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defines how quickly systems or operations must resume after a disruption. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) determines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, measured in time. Quest’s business continuity consulting team helps organizations establish these objectives based on critical business functions, operational requirements, and recovery priorities.
What happens in Quest's Business Continuity Workshop?
Quest’s Business Continuity Workshop evaluates existing procedures, identifies vulnerabilities, and develops recommendations for improving operational resilience. The process includes preparation, a kickoff call, a one-day workshop, and a final review. Participants receive an executive summary with recommended actions to strengthen their business continuity strategy.
We recognized early on that we did not have the skill sets or tools to tackle a red-alert emergency. That’s why we formed our partnership with Quest.
