5 Business Continuity & Resiliency Services Are you overestimating your ability to balance and effectively manage risk? Perception More than two-thirds of companies include IT risk management in reputational risk management Companies are confident in their ability to manage IT risks they view as most damaging to reputation 3 out of 5 companies rate their overall ability to manage IT risk as strong or very strong Reality Only 17 percent rate their company s ability to manage IT risk as very strong Companies are overlooking fundamentals, which suggests that their confidence is not necessarily warranted Only 39 percent of the same companies require vendors, partners and supply chain to be properly vigilant Find out more by reading our latest study on the reputational risk and IT connection.

Finance manager, American financial services company * Reputation Impact of a Data Breach: U.S. Study of Executives & Managers, Sponsored by Experian Data Breach Resolution Ponemon Institute, November
7 Business Continuity & Resiliency Services The impact on reputation recovery is measured in months, not hours or days like recovery time objectives (RTO) 12+ months 6-12 months 0-6 months Data breach 13% 16% 59% New technology 13% 15% 58% Compliance failure 12% 19% 56% Insufficient DR measures 11% 20% 56% Poor IT skills / tech support 11% 18% 59% Inadequate continuity plans 10% 22% 54% Data loss 10% 14% 64% Mobility (BYOD) 10% 14% 68% System failure 8% 15% 68% Website outage 6% 12% 71% 2013 IBM Global Reputational Risk and IT Study, January 2012 (ibm.com/services/riskstudy) 7
8 Business Continuity & Resiliency Services In attempt to gain more control over IT risks, many organizations have brought disaster recovery in-house but are not sure they could respond to a real disaster of firms face a lack of focus on in-house DR relative to other IT projects of firms struggle against lack of funding to keep DR infrastructure up to date of do-it-yourselfers lack adequate in-house DR skills of do-it-yourselfers have trouble running enough DR tests and exercises 8 The Risks of Do It Yourself Disaster Recovery, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of IBM, January 2013
9 What s prompting the sea change? Business pressures IT realities Business processes are more technology dependent IT must now support the anytime, anywhere mobile workforce Little tolerance for data loss or downtime Systems are more complex and heterogeneous Increasing expectations for system availability and performance New threat landscapes mean more potential causes of downtime 9

21 Test types and frequencies 21 Test type Description Frequency Walk-through exercise Reviewing the layout and contents of a plan. As necessary to familiarize response teams and individuals with a documented plan or changes to a plan. Tabletop exercise Using a scenario, discussing the response and recovery activities of a documented plan. At least four times per year. Often done as the precursor to a full exercise. Component test Physically exercising a component of a documented plan, usually either systems on a single platform or systems supporting a single business process. As necessary as major changes are made to the IT operating environment or infrastructure. Depending on criticality, some components may be exercised more frequently than others. Full exercise/ simulation Using a scenario, carrying out the response and recovery activities of a documented plan for the entire organization. At least once per year; twice is ideal.
