  • Who has the authority to initiate a contingency plan?
  • Which staff members are critical and must be on-site or always reachable?
  • Where are the back-ups and how are they restored to go back to the old version of software?
  • Who can cover for each critical staff member?
  • What are single points of failure and how can those risks be ameliorated?
  • What systems, vendors, and partners pose risk should they fail?
  • Who is responsible for communicating with customers, and how?
