Don’t Create a Disaster Before a Disaster

All of the measures presented in this series are options for managing and protecting member information and critical data. This is very important. But have you covered everything…I mean everything? There needs to be a means of keeping all of these policies and disaster recovery procedures organized and easy to access. There is!

Topic Discussion:

Operations Policy manuals and disaster recovery manuals are “living” documents in your credit unions. They are not once and done projects you complete and throw on your bookshelf.

These manuals are required by the regulators and the credit union executives are expected to know what is in them and how each policy or procedure affects your credit union.

We will discuss the aspects of creating, maintaining and knowing what is in these documents, why the information is in these documents and what do I do with the information in these documents.
