What is the BCP?

A company runs a number of technological, environmental and ecological risks. In coping with an unforeseen event, its ability to react swiftly and effectively is vital to resuming normal business as soon as possible.

The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) comprises all the initiatives to maintain the company's vital functions. Depending on various crisis scenarios it features a raft of measures to ensure the continuity of the company's essential services (temporary or skeleton service where required) then the resumption of scheduled activities. The BCP coordinates, plans and formalises the IT contingency plan, the crisis management plan, skeletal operating procedures as well as the business resumption plan.

 Oddo et Cie's BCP

The BCP at Oddo is based on three fundamental principles

 A high-performance backup system

Our teams and technical resources are shared between several network sites that are each back-up points in themselves (Paris, Aubervilliers, Lyon, Madrid and New-York). The site Aubervilliers site houses the autonomous technical resources and the production teams in separate buildings.

 Resumption of business organised by experts

Our technical host is the company Interxion, one of the European sector leaders, which also houses the main suppliers of Oddo, such as GL Trade, Euronext, etc.

To restore business on our various sites in the event of an incident, some fifty organisational procedures have been devised with the help of one of the Market specialists: Thales.

 Continuous inspections

Regularly monitored by Auditors and the various supervisory bodies, the BCP is adapted to the group's growth. Resumption tests and adjustments to procedures and architectures draw on the group's permanent resources.
