David Discenza, CBCP, president of Discenza Business Continuity Solutions, has been involved in business continuity planning since 2009. He was the business continuity manager for the Risk & Information Management (RIM) group within American Express. His responsibilities included the development, maintenance and testing of their business continuity plan. He was also responsible for creating the emergency communication strategy for the RIM organization.

David works with companies in Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Connecticut, and nationwide to help them formulate plans they can implement when an unexpected business interruption occurs. He does this by helping his clients identify risks they have not mitigated, including determining the financial impact of a loss of business functions, improving cybersecurity strategies and tactics, and prioritizing the order in which business functions need to be restored.

David is a graduate of Boston College and Indiana State University. He has extensive experience working with major US corporations including General Electric and CIGNA Healthcare. He has worked with businesses across industries in the Mid-Atlantic region to create their new business continuity plan and even provides a FREE template to identify business vulnerabilities and resilience. Often a presenter at professional conferences, workshops, and symposiums, David is certified as a Business Continuity Planner by the Disaster Recovery Institute International.

What professionals say about David Discenza

Edward Gresch

David worked as a consultant to oversee a business continuity project for our company. We had a constrained timeline and limited resident knowledge of the subject and required David to do most of the heavy lifting. David took the reins of the project from the start and thoroughly managed the project until completion. Working with many individuals from multiple departments, David quickly interviewed and extracted the necessary knowledge and put it all together in a cohesive document that met all our criteria. I hope to work with David again in the near future!

David’s end-to-end thought leadership approach to a project includes understanding the current state, and desired point of arrival to clearly define project objectives. This structured approach results in a comprehensive project road map, including metrics, to objectively measure outcomes and results.

David did excellent work in preparing a professional business continuity plan for our company. Our situation was unusual, but David took the time to understand it, and to define and document the appropriate protocols in the event of a disaster. He also instructed us on how to communicate, maintain, and exercise the plan. We would highly recommend David’s services to any company with similar needs.
