Business Continuity

CEPAR works with partners across Emory to create a comprehensive, enterprise-wide continuity of operations program that supports the missions of the university and Emory Healthcare.

This holistic approach allows Emory to sustain critical operations throughout a disruptive incident and to facilitate a more expedited and complete recovery with limited negative impact on our people, processes, and technology infrastructure.

Business Continuity Responsibilities

• Evaluate operational risks
• Mitigate impact of potential incidents
• Ensure operational continuation throughout the incident
• Guide business to return-to-normal once incident closed
