The project was divided into two areas – organizational support and technical solutions.

The organizational area was designed to help people responsible for the IT department and is an answer to the most common problems. As part of the organizational support, Blue Energy Experts:

  • assisted in conducting an IT system criticality assessment (BIA) with business representatives along with determining the expected business continuity parameters (RTO, RPO, MTPD etc.),
  • completed the decomposition of IT services and verification of the possibility of meeting the parameters required by the client,
  • analyzed the impact of services provided by external entities on the ability to meet the business continuity parameters (assessment of contractual provisions, SLA, supplier audit),
  • performed analyzes of the risk of unavailability of IT systems and internal services, taking into account SPoF (single points of failure), maintained emergency and recovery plans, resources and the impact of external suppliers on the implemented processes,
  • developed emergency and recovery procedures with the customer’s representatives,
  • supported the preparation and implementation of business continuity tests and proposed remedial actions aimed at increasing the level of availability of services and IT systems in the Organization.

As part of technical services, Blue Energy Safety Architects supported the selection of appropriate technical solutions, including:
