Business Continuity Exercise Workshop - Green Bay, Wisconsin

When an incident happens, how your leadership and teams respond will make all the difference. Exercising response and continuity plans improves resilience and gets people familiar with the decisions that need to be made and procedures to follow in response to a crisis. Please bring your bank’s business continuity and crisis response leaders and join Wipfli for a one-day workshop that will exercise your continuity plans in real-world business interruption scenarios such as ransomware and natural disasters.
FFIEC Guidance
All financial institutions are required to evaluate their risk management processes to ensure the availability of critical financial services. A tabletop exercise is a FFIEC recognized method to strengthen the business continuity plan content and validate the process and procedures that would occur during a disaster.
Exercise policy, strategy, planning, and methods are explained in the FFIEC IT Exam Handbook. https://ithandbook.ffiec.gov/it-booklets/business-continuity-planning.aspx
Business Continuity Exercise Workshop
This workshop is facilitated so each financial institution can review and modify their own business continuity and disaster recovery plans. The scenarios that will be discussed will probe:
• Executive response to and activities associated with particular incidents.
• The plan’s method for communication during a disaster.
• Evaluation of recovery locations for IT and the workforce.
• Discussion of critical business process work-around procedures.
• Identification of IT’s evaluation process for infrastructure problems, recovery priorities, and recovery strategies.
The cost will include the following:
• Business Continuity Program Assessment – A customized review and assessment of your bank’s Business Continuity Program (a $5,000+ value). The assessment questions will be distributed to clients after registration. Once questions are completed and returned to Wipfli (no later than two weeks after the workshop), BCP Assessment results will be sent to the client within four weeks after the workshop.
• Facilitated Business Continuity Exercise – The exercise will simulate real-world disaster recovery scenarios, including a cyber-attack and a natural disaster. Each bank will be able to evaluate their individual plans and identify what should be included in the plans and ways to improve them.
