The local area networks comprise a
range of components [
insert names of
components, e.g. file servers, hubs,
routers, switches, network interface cards,
associated
cabling
]
,
and
could fail or be destroyed (e.g. through a fire in
a
patch room or the building
generally). In addition, PCs could also fail or
be
destroyed.

As for section
3.2.1.3 above.
3.2.1.5 Inter
(
[

organisation
] Building Communications
[
insert name of
organisation
] is reliant on the
[
insert
name
] service link
between the [
insert
number
] main buildings for information
interchange. This
link could be
interrupted, destroyed (e.g. by a fire in a patch
room/network
services intake room) or
the [
insert
name
] service itself could
fail.
3.2.1.6 [
insert name

] Service
a
[
insert name of third party
service provider
]
provides a service for
[
insert name
of
organisation
]
for
the [
insert description of purpose of
service, e.g. payment
of
supplier/contractor invoices
]. The
[
insert name of third party
service
]
could
fail/be unavailable due to:
?
a
failure/disaster at either [

]
or [

ses or

the [

]
contract (e.g.
contractual
dispute between [

party service provider
]
and [
insert name of

].
[
insert name of
organisation
]
needs to be sure that the
[
insert name of third
party
service provider
] business continuity
plan is complete and usable, and
that
it is commensurate with [
insert name of
organisation
]
business needs.
However,
even with a good plan in place and tested, the
availability of the
[
insert
name of third party service provider
]
service cannot be taken as being
guaranteed, and thus this has to be
taken into account in determining
business continuity strategy for
[
insert name of
organisation
]. Further, the
efficient use of the [
insert
name of third party service provider
]
service by
[
insert name of
organisation
]
depends on the continued availability
of the
[
insert name of
supplied system
] system within
[

organisation
]
and
(if relevant)
the
communications infrastructure to

provides
support from within
[

at
[

and
(if relevant)
there is a link from [

at [

to

] link for management support
(
if relevant
- albeit
from a single PC in [
insert
name of location
] not connected to the
[
insert name

]
network).
The
[
insert name of supplier of support
service/helpdesk
] IT support
service could fail/be unavailable due
to:
?
a
communications failure at either
[
insert name of
organisation
]
or
[
insert
name of supplier of

] locations or
over the link
between them,
?
unavailability
of [

(e.g. contractual dispute between
[

and [

Other External Communications Services
Other external communications services
are:

insert name of

] in order to make changes to
the [
insert name
of
organisation
]
public web site,
?
to/from Internet for e-mail.]
Any of these external communications
services could fail.
3.2.2 Voice (and
Fax) Communications
A number of voice
networks are used by [
insert name of
organisation
]
any
one of which could fail. Further, as
well as for the networks themselves,
partial/total failure or destruction of
the various communications components
needs to be considered, such as PABXs,
facsimile machines, mobile
telephones
and pagers. Thus, the issues that need to be
considered in the
context of voice
communications are:
?
communications between
