We apply a modular 8-point model which takes a formal yet pragmatic risk and scenario based approach to business continuity management, ensuring that planning effort and solutions are commensurate with the organisation and its level of exposure. 

  1. Setting Priorities - A risk-based approach is taken.  A business impact analysis is made to assess mission critical activites and assets.  Whilst a risk assessment is used to quantify threats and vulnerabilities. Once priorities are established, cost-effective action can be proposed.
  2. Producing Plans - Determine how the organisation will respond to incidents and crises, and capture this information in a series of plans. Undertake initial integrated rehearsal of plans.
  3. Maintenance - Move plans into ongoing maintenance, review, update and rehearse.

We also offer a fast-track business continuity planning service for organisations who need a plan developed quickly. 

Our business continuity and disaster recovery solutions are compliant with industry good practices/standards such as BS 25999, ISO 27001, ISO 24762, ITIL®, MoR®, COBIT and legislation - Civil Contingencies Act 2004, Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002.
