Business continuity management strategies

DisasterComUK has vast experience in developing effective business continuity management strategies for organisations in all sectors.

Our risk assessment objectively evaluates pre-determined business risks and clearly presents assumptions and uncertainties such as probability and frequency.

We then create business continuity management strategies by combining business impact analysis data with quantitative risk assessment outcomes.

Risks that threaten an organisation’s ability to achieve its strategic aims may be mitigated using a number of business continuity management strategies such as the following two examples.

• The introduction of additional third party suppliers to ensure that key services continue to be delivered to the organisation should primary supplier services be disrupted. The substitute suppliers would be invoked when reductions in service delivery breach defined thresholds.
  
  
• Switching essential functionality to other ring-fenced work area recovery locations (triggered by specific criteria) to protect against extended IT and communications disruption.

Continuous and effective risk management ensures that new business risks are identified as the business changes shape. Risks are assessed for their impact and new business continuity management strategies developed in order to manage the threats.
