Written as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/infoassurance.norwich.edu\/\">Master&#8217;s program in Information Assurance (IA) at Norwich University<\/a> in 2011 and subsequently submitted to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitsi.org\/\">Federal IT Institute<\/a>, they provide a complete roadmap to create and operate a compliant, cost-effective, and reliable COOP program throughout DoD.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>An organization must identify its critical business functions using a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) prior to implementing a Business Continuity Management (BCM) plan. The same requirement exists within federal government and Department of Defense (DoD) agencies with a significant difference: these agencies must preserve their ability to accomplish their mission rather than their ability to retain revenue. Hence, federal government and DoD agencies implement a Continuity of Operations (COOP) plan by determining their Mission Essential Functions (MEFs). This paper, the third in a ten-part series, analyzes how a small Army Program performs the government equivalent of a BIA to determine its MEFs and to determine protections.<\/p>\n<p>Neither the federal government, DoD, nor the Army define how a particular agency should determine its MEFs and prioritize them to meet policy requirements. This paper analyzes three different good-practice methodologies that enable the agency to identify and prioritize its MEFs in preparation for a formal Risk Assessment of the threats and hazards that face those MEFs. The paper closes by summarizing its findings presenting recommendations for the program manager (PM) to review.<\/p>\n<p>Please let me know your thoughts on this topic, and thanks for checking in with our IA corner.
