Business continuity planning is an important consideration for organisations, what ever their size or type. A process that can seem complex at first sight can be broken into 5 basic steps.
1. Identify Likely Disruptions
Perform a risk assessment to identify likely disruptions and consider options for treatment of those risks.
2. Assess Business Impact
Prioritise business functions and increase the organisation’s resilience using a Business Impact Analysis tool.
3. Create a Plan
Collate the information required to minimise risk and impact on the business into a plan.
4. Train Staff
Raise awareness and train staff in the business continuity process.
5. Test
Regularly test the plan for effectiveness and make changes as necessary.
