Business Continuity Assurance Health Check
Now, more than ever, an annual health check on your business continuity planning arrangements is the best way to check progress has been made during the past year to increase resilience to disruptions within the whole organisation.
The pandemic has changed business models, practices and structures, sometimes now very different from pre-pandemic times. Do your business continuity plans reflect this or are they no longer up to the task?
Will they still satisfy stakeholders that your organisation can continue to maintain its critical activities, services and reputation in the event of an incident causing a loss of resource (premises, people, information, equipment, suppliers)?
Effective planning helps to ensure relevant threats are understood and mitigated against accordingly, whether the cause of an incident is due to winter weather disrupting transport systems, a cyber security event, lost premises, an IT service disruption, personnel unavailability or supplier disruption.
