Every organisation needs to have a Business Continuity Plan in place in case the worst does ever occur. The ones we devise meet the international standard ISO 22301:2012 enabling you to minimise business disruption and continue operating in the event of an incident.
Minimising The Risks To Your Business
We begin by identifying your most critical business functions and processes and analysing what effects a disruption to them could potentially mean. We also benchmark the recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives in this scenario.
Following a full risk assessment and analysis of possible threats and weaknesses we can then map out the different scenarios and the likelihood of them occurring. This then allows us to examine the safety measures in place and their probable effectiveness alongside creating strategies for disaster mitigation.
As well as developing an overall business continuity plan we also drill down into individual departmental and function-specific sub-plans. We also give recommendations about building the right crisis management teams and procedures and ensure smooth integration with existing IT disaster recovery plans.
To keep data safe we can advise on optimal methods of backup and data replication and help to set up alternative processing sites.
In any crisis communication is key so we devise and develop plans to work alongside command-and-control structures and decision-making frameworks for all possible scenarios. We can also help to stage regular drills to test disaster recovery capabilities.
