A major healthcare technology company partnered with Bryghtpath to build, improve, and manage its business continuity program on a day-to-day basis.
The Opportunity
A major healthcare technology company realized it needed to strengthen its business continuity and disaster recovery program. The company’s business model required compliance with a wide variety of standards, including HITRUST, HIPAA, and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI/DSS.
Rather than keeping business continuity in-house, the company contracted with Bryghtpath to deliver business continuity as a service. For several years, the Bryghtpath team has built, improved, and managed the day-to-day operation of the company’s business continuity, crisis management, and disaster recovery program.
Approach and Results
We began our engagement using our Resiliency Diagnosis methodology to review the company’s existing business continuity, crisis management, and disaster recovery program. We reviewed all program documentation and interviewed dozens of key staff and stakeholders.
We met with their senior leadership to present our findings and our recommendations, and they contracted with us to begin oversight and operation of their program.
We began by improving business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities for revenue-generating systems and teams, training staff, leading crisis management exercises, and assisting in real-time when disruptions happened.
We also worked closely with the Information Technology (IT) team to improve their understanding of business needs and the company’s high availability, change management, and incident management capabilities. We then improved business continuity and disaster recovery plans for their internally-facing IT applications and infrastructure.
Our activities spanned the full business continuity lifecycle, including the business impact analysis, business continuity planning, disaster recovery planning, training, and exercises.
Today, the Bryghtpath team works as integrated members of the company’s day-to-day management team, continually improving business continuity, responding to disruptions, and helping maintain compliance with all regulatory standards.
We regularly provide strategic advice across the full spectrum of our capabilities.
