Continuity of Operations

MSA will employ a disaster tested approach focusing on readiness and preparedness of your organization’s continuity program. Our subject matter experts possess comprehensive and far-reaching skill sets in the continuity arena including the implementation of Business Continuity Planning (BCP). Through the application of time-tested processes, we develop adaptive, customized programs for our client’s specific needs. Our tools include risk assessments, business impact analyses, establishment of continuity processes, business continuity plan development, and test, training and exercise programs. 

According to Federal Mandates: “All organizations, regardless of their size or location, shall have in place a viable continuity capability to ensure the continued performance of essential functions under all conditions. A viable continuity capability consists of the following elements:”

  • Program Plans & Procedures
  •  Risk Management
  •  Budgeting & Acquisition of Resources
  •  Essential Functions
  •  Orders of Succession
  •  Delegations of Authority
  •  Continuity Facilities
  •  Communications
  •  Vital Records Management
  •  Human Capital
  •  Devolution
  •  Reconstitution
  •  Test, Training & Exercising (TT&E)

Our analysts believe that beyond the requirement of any directive, Executive Order or legislation - developing, exercising and maintaining a viable COOP or business continuity capability just makes good, practical business sense for your organization. Developing this capability goes to the very essence of what we do – ensuring that you are prepared to operate in the face of any emergency from natural catastrophes to manmade disasters.

What our clients are saying -  “You have no idea how I personally appreciate your hard work and diligence. The COOP program would not be as developed as it is if not for you and your team. Thank you.” - HHS Division Manager
