Business Continuity

In these times of terrorist bombs the blue and white tape of the police may prevent travel or access to your premises.

When the Chairman says "where is our Business Continuity Plan?" will you be ready to answer his question? Your first reaction should be to remind the Chairman that he/she is on the Continuity Executive Team! If a business fails as the result of a disaster it is possible that the Directors could be held criminally liable if they neglected to plan for BCM. Are your BCM plans compliant with BS 25999-1 which is now the latest standard?

In these troubled times do you have BCM on the mind? Perhaps you feel that your organisation is not ready for a major problem. You can get no one to seriously plan or fund Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Management? We can guide organisations through those issues. We have aided major international banks through this process.

There are many factors to take into account when setting up a DR or BCM site. How do you handle the Commercial and Technical issues? Where should you locate it? How do you test it? We have done this in many countries. A loss of IT facilities can lead to damaging publicity for your organisation see document.

Let us help you find your way through the maze of known and unknown problems. We have template documents that will help you quickly document the processes needed. If you have BCM in place we can audit and test those procedures.

Are you and your staff trained in Crisis Management Techniques?  It's best to learn these skills before you need them.
