Business Continuity Management

Not all risk platforms cover all aspects of the enterprise risk management process. If you can’t identify and analyze the risks that may affect your organization’s ability to deliver its most important products and services, you can’t recover. With our integrated risk system, you can upload enterprise risk management frameworks and details, relate risks to processes and gain insights. You can reuse assessment work of others, speak the same language, share information and gain better insights, enabling objective assessment evaluation.

The BIA is the foundation to any strong business continuity management program and many stakeholders waste time assessing non-critical processes and impact factors. By not being able to properly assess the criticality of your processes, you cannot determine how to best recover. With our proprietary algorithms and custom reporting, we help you build your business impact analysis quickly and effectively to manage risk objectively.

It’s challenging to collect key information from multiple stakeholders, update and distribute plans. Without a central repository of up to date plans, you cannot get back online and restore IT assets, especially during concurrent disasters. With our business continuity management solution, be prepared when disasters occur with standard operating procedures for your recovery processes, a plan generator and a central plan repository.

Having your plan defined, properly exercised, and refined is great.  Putting that plan into action is hard.  With our crisis event management feature you can easily manage all the activities needed to survive the crisis and recover from it.  Assets affected by a crisis event drive the activation of the corresponding crisis & recovery plans.  Mass notifications can be sent to all affected persons and those responsible for plan activity are sent tasks to their mobile device.

It’s hard to stay on top of which plans are missing, which plans are outdated, and the outstanding actions required. If you don’t have the information to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and gaps, you can’t get immediate insights into your most vulnerable processes. With our business continuity plan, you can improve resilience against threats with our BC software’s proprietary methodology to build BIAs.

In the event of a disaster, the absence of a clear plan combined with lack of communication makes the situation much worse. Every second counts and a crisis can escalate quickly with long term impact on your reputation and bottom line. Swiftly access your comprehensive crisis management plans to deliver a centralized response with clear roles and tasks to any event.

Things don’t always go according to plan. If you can’t identify when and why things went wrong, you can’t fix them for next time. And there will be a next time. Assess what happened during your incident or exercise and understand why it happened with action management. Leverage full workflow capabilities to document actions, follow up on issues and track remediation plans and assignments to discover what to do differently next time.

One of the biggest challenges for business continuity managers is getting executive leadership buy-in. Without support from executives, business continuity programs struggle to get the budget and resources they need to succeed. With our easy to read and comprehensive executive and management dashboards, your executive leadership can obtain profound insight into the success of your business continuity program.

Ensure your entire organization knows how to respond in the first few minutes after an incident. Life Safety training, drills and exercises training program can make a huge difference in keeping your employees and associates safe.
