DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Strategic Financial Planning, Inc. has developed and implemented a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that includes redundant data centers and alternate facilities to protect its business processes and technology environment in the event of a significant business disruption. SFP's policy is to respond to a significant business disruption (SBD) in an effort to safeguard employees lives and firm property, make a financial and operational assessment, quickly recover and resume operations, protect the firm's books and records, and allow our customers to transact business.
The plan addresses business disruptions that may be caused by a local incident or by a regional or market related disaster that applies to many companies. The Plan covers our critical business processes and related employees essential for SFP to continue to conduct business for an interim or temporary period during a business interruption. Every important aspect of SFP’s business, including data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees: critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business is addressed in this plan.
SFP’s goal is to recover its Critical Business Processes with minimal interruption, depending on the nature of the disruption. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 1 business day. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and presume to recover and resume business within 5 business days. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer's prompt access to their funds and securities.
If after a significant business disruption clients cannot contact us as usual, they will be notified of an emergency contact number or go to this website for contact instructions.
