Greenwich
Technology Advisors Business Continuity Planning Disclosure
Greenwich
Technology Advisors has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will
respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the
timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have
to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in
mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity
plan.
Contacting Us: If after a
significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do Email pmejean@gtadvisors.com.
Our Business
Continuity Plan:
We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant
business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property,
making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and
records, and allowing our client engagements to proceed. In short, our
business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as
quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business
continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission
critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative
communications with clients and employees; alternate physical location of
employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact;
regulatory reporting; and assuring our clients prompt access to information
about the status of their engagements if we are unable to continue our
business.
While every
emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as
time of day and the severity of the disruption, the objective is to restore its
operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new
transactions within one to two days.
Varying
Disruptions:
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our
firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm
is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within
each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal
to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our
firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to
recover and resume business within one day. In a disruption affecting our
business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site
outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within one to two
days. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, as quickly as
possible and transfer operations to an alternative location.
