Risk Cloud, a mission continuity planning tool that has been configured for Penn, is used to capture and maintain continuity, crisis management, and disaster recovery plans online in a standard format. Accessible through a web browser, the software provides a flexible framework for entering mission continuity information and can be used to meet the varying needs of Schools and Centers across campus. Risk Cloud is integrated with other Penn systems; some key planning information, such as faculty/staff contact and facilities/building data, is regularly refreshed from the appropriate Penn systems of record to ensure data integrity and streamline data entry. The system also features organization-based security, allowing responsibility for plan development and maintenance to be shared among different individuals. Risk Cloud makes the development and maintenance of mission continuity plans for all organizations and buildings safe, secure, and accessible.
