BUSINESS CONTINUITY OVERVIEW
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is about protecting your people and your business from the effects of dangerous or disruptive incidents.
It’s about preparing to deal with disasters, and reacting immediately & effectively with well-defined procedures if disaster does strike – Emergency Response.
It’s about making and implementing plans for coping with a disruptive event, in terms of the roles & responsibilities, infrastructure, contacts and contingency planning needed both to protect people and put the business back on some sort of an even keel – Incident Management.
It’s about thinking through the continuity threats when structuring your business strategy, major programmes and infrastructure – Business Resilience. It’s also about being ready and prepared to rebuild the business (fundamentally if necessary) should a serious incident occur – Business Recovery.
Tiered management levels (Gold/Silver/Bronze) are used to implement BCM. It’s important that the management of BCM is integrated seamlessly into your existing organisation & processes. BCM should be part of the everyday life of your business.
