A regional healthcare organization regularly faces threats from severe weather events and has tasked the IT department with enhancing their business continuity plan. Leadership's primary goal is to ensure continuous operation of essential systems with no perceptible downtime in the event of a weather disaster. What update to the business continuity plan would BEST reflect leadership's priority for maintaining uninterrupted essential services?
Enhance network infrastructure to manage a higher volume of data traffic during emergency situations
Build and maintain a facility that is prepared and available on-demand for immediate operational takeover of essential systems
Assemble a control center dedicated to managing communication and coordination during emergency responses
Outline strict targets for the time to restore essential services and schedules for critical data backups
Establishing a facility that is fully prepared and available on-demand, equipped with the necessary resources and operational capability to assume control immediately, is essential for ensuring that there is no perceptible downtime for essential services during a disaster. This aligns with the leadership's priority for maintaining uninterrupted operations. While the other options can contribute to a robust business continuity strategy, they do not directly provide the seamless operational capabilities desired. Aggressive metrics for service recovery time and critical data restoration planning do not secure immediate operational capability and a control center mainly improves coordination, not service continuity.
