Business Continuity Plan of Sentinel Stone Financial LLC
Sentinel Stone Financial LLC (“Sentinel Stone”) has established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) detailing our response to events that significantly disrupt our operations. Given the unpredictable nature of disruptions and disasters, we emphasize flexibility and prompt response to ensure the continuity of our services.
Contacting Us
Should there be a significant business disruption and you cannot reach us through normal communication channels, please visit our website at www.sentinel-stone.com for updates and further instructions.
Our Business Continuity Plan
Our BCP aims to swiftly recover and resume operations post-disruption, prioritizing the safety of our employees, safeguarding our assets, conducting financial and operational assessments, securing our records, and enabling customer transactions. Key aspects include:
– Data Backup and Recovery: Ensuring all mission-critical systems and data are backed up and can be restored rapidly.
– Operational Assessment: Quickly evaluating the financial and operational impact of the disruption.
– Communication: Establishing alternative means to communicate with customers, employees, and regulators.
– Employee Relocation: Identifying alternative work locations for employees if our primary offices are unavailable.
– Critical Suppliers and Partners: Assessing the impact on critical suppliers, contractors, banks, and counterparties and establishing contingencies.
– Regulatory Compliance: Maintaining compliance with regulatory reporting and obligations.
– Customer Access: Ensuring customers have access to their funds if we are unable to continue operations.
Addressing Varying Disruptions
Disruptions can vary in scope—from affecting only our firm to impacting an entire region. Our response will be scaled accordingly:
– Local Disruptions: For disruptions affecting our office(s) directly, we will relocate operations to a predefined local site and aim to resume business within 6-12 hours.
– Wider Disruptions: In case of a broader disruption (city-wide or regional), we will move operations to a predetermined remote site outside the affected area, aiming to resume business within 24 hours.
In extreme cases preventing us from continuing business, we are committed to ensuring our customers’ prompt access to their funds.
