Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

Be ready for disruption. We assess critical risks, build robust continuity plans and rehearse responses so operations can continue and recover quickly.

How We Help

We provide business continuity planning (BCP) consultancy and plan development, from initial risk review through to testing and ongoing improvement. Our goal is to ensure your organisation can keep operating during any disruption. Our key services include plan reviews and updates, new plan development, and practical support to establish robust responses.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • Business Impact Analysis (BIA): Identify your important business processes, acceptable recovery time objectives (RTOs), and key dependencies so recovery priorities are clear.
  • Risk assessment: Assess threats to People, Systems, Assets, Supply Chain and the Environment (for example fire, flood or IT failure), highlighting gaps to strengthen resilience.
  • Continuity strategies: Develop proportionate, workable strategies for people, premises, suppliers and technology.
  • Plan documentation: Create clear documentation with activation steps, roles and responsibilities, contact lists, communication plans, and recovery procedures for important functions. 
  • Exercises: Run tabletop scenario exercises to rehearse decision-making in a safe environment and highlight areas for improvement.
  • Plan review and maintenance: Carry out BCP gap analysis where plans are already in place, plus scheduled reviews or updates after significant changes to keep your plan current and effective.

Ready to secure your organisation against unforeseen disruptions? Contact our BCP specialists today to discuss a tailored plan.
