Business Continuity Evaluation
Once your Business Continuity is implemented and you have a track of managing all sorts of events, it’s good to evaluate the effectiveness of it. Are the investments in Business Continuity (in time, money and people) bringing the best value? Are the Business Continuity measures that were implemented in line with the standards like the ISO 22301 or the Business Continuity Institute Good Practice Guide (BCI GPG)? Are the critical suppliers of the organisation aligned with your recovery strategies? This can be done through a formal 3rd party evaluation– or an audit - focusing on the BCMS.
Why consider Business Continuity evaluation, audit or testing?
An audit or an evaluation of the measures implemented in Business Continuity help you to assess your maturity. It also may provide the assurance to your clients and partners that the Business Continuity Management is reliable.
