Business continuity management policy

"Computer Information Technologies", LLC (brand name "Kitsoft") always pays special attention to ensuring the stability of its operations, therefore it implements a business continuity management system.

Given that modern businesses are susceptible to the risk of emergencies, incidents, and crises that can significantly impact their operations, these risks may include situations such as natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires), technical failures, cyberattacks, epidemics, political and economic crises, and many others.

To ensure resilience and recovery after emergencies, Kitsoft commits to taking the following measures:

Develop emergency plans: Development and implementation of emergency plans that outline procedures for response, communication, and business continuity in emergency situations.
Conduct backup and data archiving: Preservation of backup copies of data and critical information in secure locations to prevent their loss during incidents.
Ensure Business Continuity (BC): Develop business continuity plans to minimize disruptions in operations during crisis situations.
Ensure IT Security: Protecting computer systems and data from cyber attacks and other cyber threats.
Insurance and Financial Reserve: Obtaining insurance policies covering losses from emergencies and establishing a financial reserve for immediate business recovery.
Collaborate with Public Services: Establishing communication with local authorities, fire departments, medical services, and other emergency services to seek assistance during crisis situations.
Educate and train Personnel: Conducting regular drills and training sessions for staff on actions to take during emergencies.
Risk Assessment: Continuously assessing risks and updating response plans according to changes in the business environment.
Continuous Improvement: Studying incidents and crisis situations to further enhance crisis management strategies and plans.

The ability to respond to emergencies and crises and to restore operations is crucial for the resilience and success of modern businesses.

The goal of such a system is to anticipate and assess potential disruptions to company operations, as well as to develop and implement strategies for the quickest possible recovery of work processes if such disruptions occur.
