Michael Seese
Michael Seese, CISSP, CIPP, is an information security, privacy, and business contingency professional in beautiful Chagrin Falls, Ohio. He holds a Master of Science in information security, which was earned completely online via a very cool synchronous and interactive curriculum, and a Master of Arts in psychology, which tends to scare people. He began his career as a journalist, and then moved into technical writing, which piqued an interest in programming, which after all is nothing more than another form of writing, using a more limited and concise language. Then one day, standing in a local bookstore and surrounded on three sides by programming books, covering C++ and C-sharp and .NET and ASP, he had an epiphany: programming languages come and go. Guess wrongthat is, specialize in the flavor-of-the-last-monthand some college fresh-out will take your job, and probably do it better. But the need to store data and protect data will remain and, in fact, grow. That realization led to his current career track.
Michael regularly speaks at conferences, has had numerous articles published in professional journals, and contributed two chapters to the 2008 PSI Handbook Of Business Security. He is the co-author of Haunting Valley, a compilation of ghost stories from the Chagrin Valley. Michael also penned (or, better said, e-penned) the twin books Scrappy Information Security and Scrappy Business Contingency Planning. He currently spends his limited spare time rasslin' with three young'uns, and can be reached between matches at scrappy@MichaelSeese.com. |

Contingency Planning
How to Bullet-Proof Your Business and Laugh at Volcanoes, Tornadoes, Locust Plagues, and Hard Drive Crashes.
by Michael Seese
In simple terms, business contingency planning (BCP) is the art of preparing an enterprise for "bad things." The bottom line is that you are trying to enable your organization to withstand an unlikely, though not unexpected, event. But a good business contingency plan should help you weather even an unexpected event, that is, something that "cant happen here." Developing a business contingency program from scratch is not a "quick hit" effort. It is a major undertaking. 'Scrappy Business Contingency Planning' provides a blueprint for the creation of a business contingency program from the ground up.
A solid contingency planning program has become a necessity, rather than a nicety, in today's business world. Although there are several very good professional resources available for professional planners, most don't teach you the "tricks" of the trade. I worked side by side with a clever and creative mentor, who taught me many of these tricks. I want to pass them on.
This book provides a blueprint for the creation of a business contingency program from the ground up. After reading this book, a corporation without a business contingency plan should understand the scope of their effort to create one. A new contingency planner will find this book a refreshing how-to guide. Even a seasoned BCP professional will walk away with a tip or two, and a new perspective on some of the issues facing planners.
