BCP Standards for Financial Institutions Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) BCP Handbook Business continuity planning is about maintaining, resuming, and recovering the business, not just the recovery of the technology. The planning process should be conducted on an enterprise-wide basis. A thorough business impact analysis and risk assessment are the foundation of an effective BCP. The effectiveness of a BCP can only be validated through testing or practical application. The BCP and test results should be subjected to an independent audit and reviewed by the board of directors. A BCP should be periodically updated to reflect and respond to changes in the financial institution or its service provider(s). not just the recovery of the technology

BCP Standards for Financial Institutions NASD Rule 3510 Rule 3510 will require a business continuity plan that addresses, at a minimum: Data back-up and recovery (hard copy and electronic) Mission critical systems Financial and operational assessments Alternate communications between customers and the firm Alternate communications between the firm and its employees Business constituent, bank and counter-party impact Regulatory reporting Communications with regulators

BCP Standards for Financial Institutions NYSE Rule 446 National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) National Futures Association Compliance Rule 2-38 (a) Members and member organizations must develop and maintain a written business continuity and contingency plan establishing procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. Members and member organizations must make such plan available to the Exchange upon request. (b) Members and member organizations must conduct a yearly review of their business continuity and contingency plan to determine whether any modifications are necessary in light of changes to the member's or member organization's operations, structure, business or location. (a) Each Member must establish and maintain a written business continuity and disaster recovery plan that outlines procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. The plan shall be reasonably designed to enable the Member to continue operating, to reestablish operations, or to transfer its business to another Member with minimal disruption to its customers, other Members, and the commodity futures markets.

BCP Standards for Financial Institutions Electronic Funds Transfer Act - held that banks were liable for actual damages caused by failing to transfer funds in a timely fashion. This required the establishment of contingency plans to meet the standard of “reasonable” standard of care (the care that a reasonable man would exercise under the circumstances; the standard for determining legal duty.) Basel Committee’s Capital Accords and Sound Practices for the Management and Supervision of Operational Risk - “Banks should have in place contingency and business continuity plans to ensure their ability to operate on an ongoing basis and limit losses in the event of severe business disruption.” – Seventh Principle in Sound Practices for Management and Supervision of Operational Risk Reserve Bank of India - Operational Risk Management - Business Continuity Planning - Business Continuity planning is a key pre-requisite for minimising the adverse effects of one of the important areas of operational risk – business disruption and system failures.

BCP Standards for the Healthcare/Life Science Industries Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Final Security Rule 7. Contingency Plan (§ 164.308(a)(7)(i)) We proposed that a contingency plan must be in effect for responding to system emergencies. The plan would include an applications and data criticality analysis, a data backup plan, a disaster recovery plan, an emergency mode operation plan, and testing and revision procedures. In this final rule, we make the implementation specifications for testing and revision procedures and an applications and data criticality analysis addressable, but otherwise require that the contingency features proposed be met.

BCP Standards for the Energy Industry Federal Electric Reliability Council’s (FERC) Security Standards for Electric Market Participants, July 2002 North American Electric Reliability Council’s (NERC) Security Guidelines for the Electricity Sector, June 2002 Business Continuity: Every participant operating a critical electric resource shall have contingency plans that define roles, responsibilities and actions for protecting the rest of the electric grid and market from the failure of its own critical resources. Those plans should further define the roles, responsibilities and actions needed to quickly recover or reestablish electric grid and market functions, processes and systems, in the event that a critical physical or cyber resource fails or suffers harm or attack. Such plans shall be tested or exercised regularly. Continuity of Business Processes: Reduces the likelihood of prolonged interruptions and enhances prompt resumption of operations when interruptions occur. Consider flexible plans that address key areas such as telecommunications, information technology, customer service centers, facilities security, operations, generation, power delivery, customer remittance and payroll processes. It is useful to revise and test plans on a regular basis. It also is advisable to train personnel so they fully understand their roles with respect to the plans.

Not Just IT FFIEC – March 2008 “Business continuity planning is about maintaining, resuming, and recovering the business, not just the recovery of the technology.” “The planning process should be conducted on an enterprise-wide basis”. Australian Prudential Standard – April 2005 “Business continuity management (BCM) describes a whole of business approach to ensure critical business functions can be maintained, or restored in a timely fashion” Monetary Authority of Singapore – June 2003 “Business Continuity Management (“BCM”) is an over-arching framework that aims to minimise the impact to businesses due to operational disruptions. It not only addresses the restoration of information technology (“IT”) infrastructure, but also focuses on the rapid recovery and resumption of critical business functions for the fulfillment of business obligations.”

Cross-Industry BCP Standards Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 SEC. 404. MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROLS. (a) RULES REQUIRED.—The Commission shall prescribe rules requiring each annual report required by section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) to contain an internal control report, which shall— (1) state the responsibility of management for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting; and (2) contain an assessment, as of the end of the most recent fiscal year of the issuer, of the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures of the issuer for financial reporting. (b) INTERNAL CONTROL EVALUATION AND REPORTING.—With respect to the internal control assessment required by subsection (a), each registered public accounting firm that prepares or issues the audit report for the issuer shall attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of the issuer. An attestation made under this subsection shall be made in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Board. Any such attestation shall not be the subject of a separate engagement. IS THERE BCP IN SARBANES-OXLEY????

Is There BCP in Sarbanes-Oxley? PCAOB (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) NO “Furthermore, management's plans that could potentially affect financial reporting in future periods are not controls. For example, a company's business continuity or contingency planning has no effect on the company's current abilities to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data. Therefore, a company's business continuity or contingency planning is not part of internal control over financial reporting."

PUBLIC LAW 110-53   “IMPLEMENTING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 9/11 COMMISSION ACT OF 2007” TITLE IX

The Holy Grail or SOX for Business Continuity The Program Was Called For In Title IX Of "The Implementing The 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act Of 2007“ (Public Law 110-53) Which Addresses A Diversity Of Other National Security Issues As Well. It Was Signed Into Law By The President On August 3, 2007. Intent – To Implement The Findings Of The 9/11 Commission NFPA 1600 Was Recommendation Of Commission For Standard DRII’s Professional Practices Are The Basis For BCP In NFPA 1600 Will It Become A “Standard”???? Voluntary Non-punitive Unsuccessful Attempts By Federal Government To Address Private Sector BCM Overcome Investments By Private Sector Strain On Small And Medium Sized Businesses In Supply Chain

Title IX – 110-53  a. Goal of the new program is to provide a method to independently certify the emergency preparedness of private sector organizations, including their disaster / emergency management and business continuity programs.  The program focuses on certifying the preparedness of businesses and other private sector entities, and does not involve any individual professional certification.  b.  The program will be voluntary. c.  Key stakeholders are invited to participate in the development of the program.  Consultation with a variety of organizations and various sectors is required by the legislation.  Program development will likely include involvement by a diversity of private sector advisory groups and others. d.  The program will be administered outside of government by 3rd party organizations with experience / expertise in managing and implementing voluntary accreditation and certification programs. e.  One or more preparedness standards can be designated.  NFPA 1600 is reference by example. f.  Existing industry efforts, certifications and reporting in this area will not be duplicated or displaced, but rather recognized and integrated. g.  Special consideration will be made for small business. h.  Proprietary and confidential information is to be protected.

NFPA gets new DHS support - PRECURSOR TO A STANDARDS CHOICE? The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards development process as a ‘Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology’ (QATT) under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act). NFPA is the first standards development organization to receive this designation. Under provisions of the SAFETY Act, NFPA’s codes and standards development process was also certified as an ‘Approved Product for Homeland Security.’ According to DHS, the SAFETY Act encourages the development and deployment of new and innovative anti-terrorism products and services by providing liability protections. Designation as a QATT and certification as an approved product for homeland security under the SAFETY Act provides legal protections for the NFPA codes and standards development process as applied to anti-terrorism. “NFPA is pleased to have its codes and standards development process recognized as an effective anti-terrorism technology which reflects the openness, balance and fairness NFPA strives to achieve in its voluntary codes and standards development process,” said NFPA President James M. Shannon. Federal protections under the DHS Designation and Certification are retroactive and recognize NFPA’s technology’s ‘first date of sale’ as September 11, 2001. Shannon added, “The commitment and involvement of NFPA in anti-terrorism standards predates the events of 9/11. NFPA has long been committed to making its codes and standards development process available for the creation and continual improvement of standards used to protect first responders and the public in terrorist events. We believe we have a world-class system which attracts numerous experts from diverse fields to develop codes and standards that mitigate the effects of terrorism on people and property.” All NFPA safety codes and standards are developed through a process accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The more than 250 technical committees responsible for developing and updating all 300 codes and standards include approximately 4,000 volunteers, representing enforcing authorities, installers and maintainers, labor, research and testing laboratories, insurers, special experts, consumers and other users. NFPA was the developer of the NFPA 1600 ‘Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs’.

TITLE IX UPDATE – December 2008 At ANSI – HSSP (Homeland Security Standards Panel ) - DHS “unveiled” its “Voluntary Private Sector Preparedness Accreditation and Certification Program – Proposed Target Criteria for Preparedness Standard” Internally developed and will be open for comment when DHS publishes a notice in the Federal Registry December 24, 2008 DHS files notice for comments in the Federal Register. “We note that the designated officer will consider adoption of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs (ANSI/NFPA 1600)—the standard specifically mentioned in both the statute and the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation—as well as any other private sector preparedness standards submitted for adoption.” AWAITING DHS FEDERAL REGISTRY FILING OF APPLICABLE STANDARDS
