Risk Assessment

Accretive Solutions' Risk Assessment determines the events and external surroundings that can adversely affect your organization and its facilities with a disruption as well as disaster, the damage such events can cause, and the controls needed to prevent or minimize the effects of potential loss.

Our risk assessment approach includes identifying risks in the following key areas:

• People and processes
• Organization and culture
• IT infrastructure and networks
• Information and data
• Third-party relationships and dependencies

Business Impact Analysis

Accretive Solutions' Business Impact Analysis identities the impacts resulting from disruptions and disaster scenarios that can affect your organization and the techniques that can be used to quantify and qualify such impacts. We identify critical functions, their recovery priorities, and interdependencies so that recovery time objective(s) and recovery point objective(s) can be set.

We develop and guide the selection of alternative business recovery operating strategies for recovery of your business and information technologies within the recovery time objective, while maintaining your organization's critical functions.
