About Elliot Consulting

Elliot Consulting, LLC is composed of trusted business advisors who are experts in the development, audit and administration of business contingency, incident response, and disaster recovery programs.

Contingency Planning
The concept of contingency planning and incident response grew out of military tactical operations while the principles of disaster recovery and restoration evolved from the technology and facilities management sectors. By blending these two diverse disciplines together, an organization can begin the planning process with a proactive evaluation of inherent risks and possible mitigation strategies, which is then quickly followed by a need to understand and protect mission-critical business operations.

The incident response phase may involve evacuating the facility, assembling at a pre-arranged meeting place, taking a headcount of the personnel, and then liaising with the first responder organizations and the media.

Finally, disaster recovery often starts with an assessment of damage to the facility and the technology infrastructure, and then the implementation of a carefully-orchestrated restoration strategy for recovering business operations. Assuming a worst case scenario, the business unit leaders need to focus on recovering operations in a make-shift facility with limited resources and staffing.

The benchmarks of a business resiliency solution include protecting the people, the information and technology systems, the facilities, and the means to conduct critical business functions.

Elliot Consulting’s services include:

• Business continuity planning / COOP (Continuity of Operations Planning)
