Just recently, an advisory on business continuity and disaster recovery planning issued by three federal agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, stated that organizations should prepare for widespread disruption. The advisory comes after a joint review by regulators in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, which caused widespread damage to Northeastern states. Per the SEC, the advisory was issued for organizations “to review their business continuity plans so as to improve responses to and reduce recovery time after significant large-scale events”. Among other factors, the advisory said firms' business continuity plans should consider critical vendor relationships.
