ABSTRACT
The two levels of costs are pre-event and event costs. Pre-
event costs are incurred in either implementing risk miti-
gation strategies or allocating of resources (including
human and financial) and capital expenditure to develop-
ing the necessary infrastructure for the BCP recovery strat-
egy. These costs may include, for example:
Information technology
— Hot site-Fully operational computer center,
including data and voice communications
— Alternate LAN server-LAN server fully config-
ured, ready to be shipped and installed at the same
site or alternate site
— Physical separation of telecommunications net-
work devices (previously centralized) to reduce
the likelihood of a single point of failure
— Establishment of service level agreements with
BCP recovery company (i.e., hot, warm, or cold
sites and mobile).
