Business Continuity Plan
We are committed to protecting the interests of its clients in the event of a business disruption. This Business Continuity Plan (the “Plan“ or the “BCP“) summary details how AIA Securities will respond to events that significantly disrupt its business.
Our BCP addresses all areas affected by a business disruption of any type: data backup and recovery, financial and operational systems and assessments, alternative communications with clients, employees and regulators, as well as critical suppliers and banks, and alternate physical location of employees if necessary. The Plan is designed to enable us to recover and restore business operations as quickly as possible, safeguard employees and property, protect our books and records, and assure clients prompt service through alternative offices if we are unable to continue its business locally.
In the event of a disaster in one of our regional offices or geographical areas, there should be minimal disruption in service due to designed redundancies for AIA Securities' systems. Data and/or system recovery will begin in a timely manner given the event(s) causing the significant business disruption. All critical financial application and data files are replicated between multiple locations. In the event of a significant business disruption, we plan to begin recovery immediately and notify clients how to contact us through our Website (www.aiasecure.com).
In the event of a disruption to our primary data center, we will restore mission-critical operations within 24 hours through our alternative disaster recovery site. Other non-critical functions will be restored within 5 to 31 days at the disaster recovery site using backup copies stored at the disaster recovery site.
If you have questions regarding our Business Continuity Plan, you may contact us through the Website. The Plan is subject to change without notice. In the event that the Business Continuity Plan summary is modified, the updated summary document will be available at www.aiasecure.com under Terms of Use.
