4.4: COOP
Continuity of Operations Other Information:
Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is responsible for the preparing, documenting, and testing required to ensure the
ability to reconstitute the OPIC core business systems in the event of a catastrophe. There are three main criteria in COOP
planning: recovery point objective (RPO), recovery time objective (RTO), and cost. RPO is defined as the point to which you
need to be able to recover, that is the state to which the system needs to be recovered, and the systems that need to be reconstituted.
RTO is defined as the time limit within which the systems need to be recovered. This can vary by system and nature of the
failure. Both the RPO and RTO have to be balanced against a budget, documented business need, and technical capability of
the OPIC systems. The OCIO is participating with OPIC’s DR/COOP committee to understand the business impact of any failure
or disaster, and to plan our technology response to an event. OPIC has a draft BIA and COOP document that is in the review
and approval process. OCIO will develop its COOP capability against the approved documented plan.
