Continuity of Operations and IT Business Continuity
Continuity of Operations (COOP) planning ensures the State's delivery of essential services under any circumstance. Business Continuity addresses the continuation of essential business processes and their supporting information technology systems during and after a disruption. The Risk Management Services team reviews executive branch continuity plans annually to ensure that key components needed to resume or recover the supporting IT systems are included. This effort helps to ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Training for State employees in the area of disaster recovery/business continuity is provided.
