Business Continuity Planning

As stated by the Business Continuity Institute

“Business Continuity is often described as ‘just common sense’. It is about taking responsibility for your business and enabling it to stay on course whatever storms it is forced to weather. It is about “keeping calm and carrying on”!

Unfortunately, dealing with the business as usual can leave little time to plan for when the storm could hit.  Alternatively, you may have the world’s greatest plan in place but no idea if it would actually work in practice.  That’s where we at Not Just Governance can help.  We work with you to develop, streamline and/or test fit for purpose, risk informed business continuity plans to provide you, and your stakeholders, with comfort that arrangements are in place to sustain service should things go wrong.

We do this by:

• Focus on the most critical service you provide
• Considering and documenting any necessary assumptions
• Engagement with key staff (who may not be the most senior staff)
• Assessing what back up equipment and/or information is needed
• Identification of reciprocal or other value for money arrangements
• Determination of an optimum period for restoration of full service
