Hurricanes, cyberattacks and pandemics can hit at any time, often with little notice.
A business continuity solution enables the university to resume normal business as quickly and completely as possible in the event of a natural or manmade disaster. And while the type of disaster may vary, the end goal is always the same—to enable essential university business functions and services to continue to support the needs of the FSU community.
What is Seminole Secure?
Seminole Secure is a combined effort from FSU ITS and Emergency Management. This four-part program is designed to improve disaster preparedness and response at FSU.
When is it happening?
In 2021, ITS began a three-year cycle of guiding university units through the creation of business impact analysis and disaster recovery plans and risk assessment and vulnerability scanning. That same year, Emergency Management initiated the first annual continuity of operations planning cycle for all university units.
Categories
Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery is the method of recovering data in order to resume business operations after a disaster.
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment identifies events or risks that could negatively impact a unit and the greater university.
COOP
Continuity of operations plans document how units will continue to perform essential operations during a disruption.
Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability management scans systems and software on the FSU network for security holes.
Timeline
Below is a list of university units and the schedule for completing each component of the Seminole Secure program.
Schedule
A three-year schedule has been developed to perform Seminole Secure tasks. Following this schedule, each unit has one year to complete a disaster recovery plan and business impact analysis and one year to complete a risk assessment. A continuity of operations plan (COOP) is due each year. Continuous vulnerability management is required monthly.
