Operational Continuity Planning & Procedures for Data Protection<br />

As part of its efforts to ensure continuity of operations, an action plan has been formulated with the aim of preventing breakdown<br />

of the Foundation’s operations or restoring them in as little time as possible if interrupted due to some unexpected event or<br />

natural disaster. TCF has formulated detailed Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) for backup of important Foundation’s<br />

assets including virtual data. By centralizing all major business processes using Enterprise Resource Planning software i.e.<br />

Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (MDGP), the Foundation has developed a well-organized IT backup plan. In order to ensure<br />

safety and round-the-clock availability of data, TCF has implemented Systems, Applications and Network Infrastructure at<br />

different locations simultaneously. TCF has ensured that all critical data and information remains intact at all times to ensure<br />

operational continuity by effective backup plan and periodical testing.<br />

IT Governance<br />

TCF has an IT Governance policy that outlines the chain of responsibility, authority and communication across the Foundation.<br />

Mechanism for Providing Information to the Board<br />

Formal Reporting Line<br />

There are four regions of the Foundation, each of which is headed by a Regional Manager (RM). The RMs are responsible for the<br />

performance of their respective Regions and the Head of Operations at Head Office (HO) has access to RMs for any required<br />

information pertaining to the respective region for the purpose of supervision and monitoring. Further information regarding any<br />

matter of concern or recommendation is put forward by the CEO to the respective committees of the Board.<br />

Employees<br />

We believe in a culture of openness and freedom of expression. We do this by providing several forums for employees to bring<br />

their valuable suggestions and feedback to the management and the Board. TCF has provided a server based Improvement<br />

Opportunity System (IOS) accessible to all employees allowing them to share their feedback, concerns and recommendations<br />

directly with the CEO and Head of Departments.<br />

Donors<br />

The Foundation has provided its contact details and other information to facilitate donors on its website www.tcf.org.pk<br />
