Table Top Scenarios

Are you contemplating conducting a disaster recovery test or tabletop exercise? If you are looking for new or creative ways to make your test more realistic, below is a list of ideas that Ongoing Operations sometimes uses with its clients:

Loss of Key Staff Scenarios

• Plane Crash with critical personnel on board
• Virus wipes out key staff
• Major transit route issue prevents staff from getting to office
• Strike or employee disruption event
• Member protest prevents employees from getting to work

Loss of Key Data Scenarios

• Plane Crash with critical data on board
• Corruption of data in production environment
• Disgruntled employee deletes/destroys key systems
• Core system failure without spare parts

Loss of Key Infrastructure

• Building fire
• Transfer switch explosion
• Fire in the data center
• Truck crashes into the building
• Critical switch or SAN failure

Obviously there are many other scenarios that can cause disruptions in Credit Unions, but these are a few Ongoing Operations has used with its clients.
