Business Continuity Summary Disclosure Statement Knight BondPoint, Inc. ("Knight BondPoint") has developed a Business Continuity Plan ("BCP") detailing how we plan to respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our Business Continuity Plan. Knight BondPoint has an emergency response team consisting of business and technology personnel to manage a recovery if Knight BondPoint should face a business interruption. We have also established functional offsite facilities in a separate geographic location that would serve as our business continuity site should our primary business location lose functionality or become inaccessible. Knight BondPoint's business continuity facility is designed to allow us to substantially continue operations if we are prevented from accessing or utilizing our primary office for an extended period of time. Our alternate facility has connectivity with our clearing firm, First Clearing, LLC. In addition, Knight BondPoint's electronic records, as well as those of First Clearing, LLC are backed up to a secure off-site location on a daily basis. The Business Continuity Plan is documented and the business continuity facility is tested on a periodic basis. Our Business Continuity Plan - We plan to respond and recover quickly after a significant business disruption by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the Firm's books and records, and allowing our clients to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit Knight BondPoint to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with clients, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier and contractor impact and regulatory reporting. Varying Disruptions - Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope. A disruption might only affect Knight BondPoint, a building housing Knight BondPoint, a business district in which Knight BondPoint is located, a city in which Knight BondPoint is located or an entire region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. Knight BondPoint's recovery time from a significant business disruption will depend on the severity and significance of the event. In a disruption affecting Knight BondPoint in which we cannot continue to conduct business in our current location, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business with a goal of within 24 hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business and Knight BondPoint will make best efforts to notify clients of a switch over to the business continuity site as soon as possible in the event of an interruption. Clients will continue to contact us via telephone at (800) 373-9478 or (877) 423-7839. Clients may contact our clearing firm at their business continuity correspondent line at (877) 496-3223. Alternatively, clients may access the following websites to contact Knight BondPoint and/or First Clearing, LLC: www.knightbondpoint.com or www.firstclearingllc.com. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will ensure that our clients' are notified. While Knight BondPoint has employed significant steps to develop, implement and maintain reasonable business continuity plans, Knight BondPoint cannot guarantee our systems will absolutely recover after a significant business disruption. At the same time, we trust our development, implementation and maintenance in preparation for significant events is vigorous and representative of current industry standards. Knight BondPoint will continually monitor and assess our plans and any material changes or updates will be available on our website or upon request. Contacting Us - If you have further questions regarding our business continuity plans, please contact us at (800) 373-9478 or at our website, www.knightbondpoint.com. |
