Risk Mitigation, Continuity, Control and Disaster Plan

Introduction

Events that are unplanned within any enterprise sector can be very devastating to the operation and continuity of a business and that it is crucial that a company has an active disaster plan that will be able to mitigate the negative occurrences that come about by initiating the plan in question (Garvey, 2008). This paper will aim to address the effectiveness of a disaster plan and assess the elements that will be able to ensure the continuity of a company or business entity. The paper will be divided into two parts with the initial part addressing the various mitigating controls and the last part addressing mitigation and disaster planning.

Part 1: Mitigation through Controls

Risk mitigation is a core element to the continuity of any business structures and to effect risk mitigation controls are critical and bind its effectiveness to any operation. The ability of reducing risks in a company majorly lies in the strength of the controls that are in use (Project Management Institute, 2008).
