Business Continuity Planning

Pershing adheres to industry standard guiding principles and has the dedicated resources, leading-edge technology, and rigorous testing schedules required to support your firm’s Business Continuity plan.

  • A dedicated alternative work area recovery site for each of our operational centres ensures the swift recovery of critical functions and key personnel at an alternative site, should one of our offices be impacted by an event.
  • Our backup data centre provides highly resilient connectivity and synchronous network mirroring to ensure that data access for critical applications, such as Pershing Nexus®, is not compromised should any component in the primary data path fail.
  • An in-depth Business Impact Analysis is performed annually to reassess Pershing’s Business Continuity requirements, evaluate new and existing risks, and identify critical processes, procedures, and personnel. Business Recovery Plans are updated at least twice a year.
  • Our Business Continuity management practices follow the guidelines set out by British Standard 25999, providing our clients with confidence in the scope and robustness of Pershing’s Business Continuity provisions.
  • Continual investment in Business Continuity systems, technology, personnel, and testing ensures that our provisions are comprehensive and aligned with growing and emerging threats. Pershing has a dedicated team of Business Continuity professionals working on both the IT and planning sides. Business Continuity plays a key role in Pershing’s annual planning process. Across all functions, Business Continuity has management oversight at the highest level and is an inherent part of our business culture.
