In the event of a business disruption, we have plans
designed to allow us to continue operations of critical
business functions, such as entering client orders,
completing securities transactions, and providing
clients access to their cash and securities. We
accomplish this in part by:
· Relocating
impacted businesses and key personnel to designated
recovery locations
· Using
redundant processing capacity at other locations
· Designing
our technology and systems to support the recovery
process for critical business functions
· Using
business and technology teams that are responsible for
activating and managing the recovery process.
· Adopting
a communication plan to ensure Noble Financial employees
receive emergency information and instructions via a
variety of sources including telephone contact, email
and websites.
· Pershing,
our clearing firm, will field all client requests until
such time as we are able to reestablish our own
communications network. This includes, but is not
limited to, security transactions and security and asset
movement. Contact information for various Pershing
departments can be found at
http://www.pershing.com/contact.htm
At
any time during an emergency situation, clients have the
ability to review their accounts via the web (http://www.noblefinancialgroup.com).
Our local telephone lines will remain active, however
they may be forwarded to a remote location until such
time as they can be restored locally. Although we have
taken significant steps to develop and implement sound
business recovery plans, we cannot guarantee that
systems will always be available or recoverable after a
disaster or significant business disruption. However,
we believe that our planning for such events is robust
and consistent with many of the best practices
established within the industry. Any material changes to
the above information will be available on our website
or upon request. If you have further questions regarding
our business continuity plans, please contact your Noble
Financial representative. |
