Business Continuity Implementation

Last updated on Feb 16, 2021 2 min read

Business Continuity – simply said – is here to make sure that your organisation keeps doing what it needs to do. Besides being a good management practice, it brings these advantages along: 

  • Helps to recover with different recovery strategies from hard moments 

  • Improves your emergency management 

  • Prepares you to manage crises 

  • Helps you prepare your IT Disaster Recovery (IT DR) plans.

Why consider Business Continuity? 

Business Continuity is perfect for those who already know how to manage all sorts of problems – including disruptive events – and who would like to blanket different management areas like IT operations, security, supplier management or customer communication with a common framework. This framework is called BCMS (Business Continuity Management Systems) and it brings different areas of the organisation to work together to be able to plan for disrupting events, provide assurance to clients or partners, and generate actionable data for managers. 

What is the service?

We are ISO 22301 pros who come to you with the knowledge in practices, processes and the market with different tools. Our first significant achievement in building your BCMS is to understand to what portion of the organisation is it relevant and bring an unanimous consent of the leaders on this. Other milestones can help in building the BCMS are: 

  • Visualise the impact of an unforeseen outage (e.g. IT outage) on your business 

  • Prioritise your  recovery activities on the back of impact analyses and risk assessments 

  • Identify the gaps between your current capabilities and the optimal recovery effort 

  • Devise Business Continuity Plans that the relevant people can use 

  • Test your Business Continuity Plans 

  • Develop BCMS improvement practices. 

If needed, we can customise our services to focus on a particular part of your Business Continuity. For example, continuity testing needs to be planned and if more parties are involved, it could turn out to be a demanding activity.
