Standard and Poor’s has adopted plans for Business Continuity Management (BCM), including Site Emergency Response (ER), Business Impact Analysis, Business Continuity Planning (BC), Contingency Planning, and Restoration Planning. Responsibility for BCM lies with Standard and Poor’s CFO. BCM is administered by a BC coordinator and an ER coordinator, and overseen by a BCM Enterprise Risk Management subcommittee (ERM) . The ERM subcommittee reports to the Standard & Poor’s Enterprise Risk Management Committee, made up of members of the Standard & Poor’s Executive Committee.  \nStandard & Poor’s has developed internal policies and assigned responsibilities around the creation and maintenance of Business Continuity Plans (BCP) . Standard & Poor’swill continue to use reasonable efforts to review its BCPs consistent with industry practice. However, notwithstanding any statement in this Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning Statement to the contrary, Standard & Poor’s makes no express or implied representations, warranties or guarantees ofthe effectiveness or results of its BCPs.  \nS&P maintains BCPs consisting of Business Recovery Plans (BR), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Emergency Response Plans (ERP) . Taken together, these plans address employee health and safety while at work, potential disruptions from the unanticipated loss of services or infrastructure, and management of resources for the resumption of business operations in the face of an emergency or disaster.  \nThe BR Plan reflects a business impact analysis of the service level requirements for recovery, the clustering of business processes for optimal recovery, and recovery steps for each business process. These plans are produced and maintained in the global recovery information database (Strohl Systems LDRPS) accessible via the internet with appropriate authentication permitting access in the event of an incident. LRDPS is hosted at Strohl’s headquarters in King of Prussia, PA, with full backup and disaster recovery.  \nBR plans also include instructions for mobilizing staff in the case of an emergency. In general, priority is given to processes that deliver products and services directly to S&P’s customers and processes that provide customers with contracted deliverables at specific times. The target for recovering market-sensitive and/or mission critical processes is within 0-4 hours of the identification of a need to recover. The target for recovering the  \nPage: 1 September 21, 2006  \nbalance of the business processes (non-market sensitive and non-business critical processes) is 4 to 48+ hours.  \nS&P’s two data centers serve as backup for each other. They are staffed twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and are equipped with redundancy and contingency features. The data centers are located approximately 50 miles apart, with one located in Standard & Poor’s headquarters in New York City, and the other in a facility owned and operated by The McGraw-Hill Companies in Hightstown, New Jersey. S&P employs multiple Internet Service Providers and both data centers are equipped with dual entry paths for all major carriers and the ability to switch telecommunications between sites orto our domestic and overseas offices if necessary. Voice communications recovery planning takes advantage of support desks and distributed business lines that are prepared to pick up the message flow if a location loses that capability.  \nBoth locations have uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) and generators as protection from drops, surges, or loss of voltage from the power utility. In the case of a utility outage longer than one minute in duration, the UPS will switch over to generator power.
