This document only covers electronic data as we presume that your existing Business Continuity Plan will cover risks to paper-based records e.g. fire, flood, loss of records etc.\nThe \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://careprovideralliance.org.uk/business-continuity\" \u0014Care Provider Alliance has produced additional guidance on business continuity planning\u0015 including:\nA Business Continuity Planning Template\nBusiness Continuity Planning Guidance\nFuel Supplies and Transport: Business Continuity Guidance\nNon-medical consumables goods and service: Business Continuity Guidance\nMedicines and medical devices: Business Continuity Guidance.\nCompletion of this template will help you provide evidence for the following \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.dsptoolkit.nhs.uk/\" \\t \"_blank\" \u0014Data Security and Protection Toolkit\u0015 question:\n7.1.2 – Does your organisation have a business continuity plan that covers data and cyber security?\n\u000f\nIntroduction\nThis document sets out:\nWhat digital systems and devices the organisation currently has in place. This includes identification of ‘critical’ systems and devices\nBusiness continuity scenarios.  The organisation considers 6 different scenarios in terms of threats and for each a continuity plan is provided:\nOffice unavailability – e.g. through fire/flood\nPhoneline / broadband failure\nPower cut\nBroken computer\nIf you were hacked\nIf your supplier’s system failed e.g. care planning system\nBusiness continuity plan testing. How we test our plans, and record what tests have we carried out and when, and any remedial action taken.\nThis plan is reviewed and updated on an annual basis, and when any critical systems are changed or new systems introduced.  Reviews are part of the annual tasks around data and cyber security as set out in our Data security policy/plan stored here: [add link].\nWhen was this plan last reviewed and tested? Who has seen it?\nWhat digital systems and devices does the organisation currently have in place?\nDigital systems\nComplete one row below for each of the organisation’s digital systems.  Examples of systems that you might have are as follows:  Email (e.g. NHSMail, and/or another email system); care planning; HR/Staffing system; payroll; document storage (e.g. Dropbox, Google drive); electronic MAR charts; accounts and finance system; office phone system; CCTV software\nDevices\nComplete one row below for each of the organisation’s devices.  Examples of devices that you might have include: servers, desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, memory sticks.\nInclude any devices that are personal that are used for work purposes, e.g. if the owner uses their personal smartphone to access company emails, then this should be included in this list.\nCritical systems and devices\nComplete one row below for any system or device rated over a 5 in severity (in 3.1 and 3.2 above) – these are our ‘critical systems’.\nBusiness continuity: scenarios\nScenario 1 – Office unavailability\nConsider how you would access the information and systems that you need to run the business, should one or more offices become unavailable.  For example, if there is a fire or flood, and office phones, computers and servers are irretrievably lost/unavailable.\nScenario 2 - Phoneline / broadband failure\nConsider what would happen if your phone lines and broadband were to fail.  For example, would you be able to access care plans? Would you be able to access the telephone numbers for service user’s families for example? Would you be able to direct staff to where they need to be to provide care to service users?\nScenario 3 - What w","cbCaipPIUD6Jjgsx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipPIUD6Jjgsx","docx",1465625,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and scope\n## What to include in the plan\n## Digital systems and devices\n## Critical systems and devices\n## Business continuity scenarios\n### Office unavailability\n### Phoneline / broadband failure\n### Power outage\n### Device failure or loss/theft\n### Hacked event\n### Supplier system failure","[{\"question\":\"What scope does the template cover for business continuity planning?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on electronic data and cyber security, and assumes the existing business continuity plan already addresses non-electronic risks such as fire, flood, and loss of paper records.\"},{\"question\":\"Which continuity scenarios does the plan cover?\",\"answer\":\"It considers six scenarios: office unavailability, phoneline/broadband failure, power cut, broken/lost/stolen device, being hacked, and a supplier system failure.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the organisation test and maintain the business continuity plan?\",\"answer\":\"The plan should include how tests are carried out and recorded, what remedial action is taken, and it should be reviewed and updated at least annually and whenever critical systems change or new systems are introduced.\"}]","Business Continuity Plan Template - Data and Cyber Security - How to Test Your Plan | DOCX",1788152273]
