BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN SUMMARY
Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
Contacting Us
If after a significant business disruption, you cannot contact us as you usually do, you should call our main number at (469) 887-1450 to see if an inclement weather or other business interruption message is included in the greeting or check sunnyvalestables.com for a message (with further instructions/details) posted on the homepage about any business disruption event that may have occurred.
Our Business Continuity Plan
We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees, boarded on-site equine, and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our clients and investors to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Our Business Continuity Plan addresses data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; varied and redundant communication methods with customers, employees, and any applicable regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical service provider impact; and regulatory reporting. NSS manages mission critical data and processes via outside vendors that retain redundant data copies and emergency procedures so that services can be restored promptly. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, our objective is to restore operations and be functioning critical applications in no more than one business day. Your communications with us may be disrupted until such time as our data is restored. Some critical services have faster expected restoration timelines and may experience no downtime at all in the event of a disruption, depending on the nature of the disruption.
Varying Disruptions
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as those events only affecting our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to local sites when needed and expect to recover and resume business, even if in a temporary or different location, by the following business day. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will follow the same plan, and expect to recover and resume after a longer period of time. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our clients’ prompt access to their records on file with us at the time of the disruption.
For more information, or if you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at (469) 887-1450.
