Core Engagement
Business Continuity Planning
An ISO 22301-aligned business continuity engagement covering everything from initial risk profiling through tested, deployed plans your team can execute under pressure.
Why It Matters
Build a continuity program that actually works when you need it.
Most SMB continuity plans are documents nobody has opened in two years, naming roles held by people who left. When a real disruption hits — a vendor outage, a ransomware event, a building loss — the plan fails on first contact. We build programs that survive that contact, because they were designed against your real operations and tested before they were needed.

Engagement Model
How this engagement runs.
- 01
Discovery & Risk Profile
We map your operations, dependencies, facilities, and supplier base in a focused intake — typically one to two working sessions with leadership and operations leads.
- 02
Business Impact Analysis
Department-level BIA quantifies what disruption costs you. RTO, RPO, MTPD, and resource dependencies become numbers, signed off by process owners.
- 03
Strategy & Plan Build
Strategy selection workshop translates BIA outputs into recovery options. We then build the BCP module — activation criteria, escalation, role assignments, recovery procedures.
- 04
Deploy & Test
Plans deploy to SharePoint, mobile, and paper. Optional tabletop exercise validates the plan against a realistic scenario; AAR findings drive plan refinement.
Right Fit
You should engage if…
- SMBs with 10–500 employees facing customer or regulatory due-diligence on BCM maturity
- Companies with no documented BCP, or plans that haven't been touched in 24+ months
- Organizations preparing for ISO 22301 certification or audit
- Firms whose insurance, audit, or contractual obligations require demonstrated continuity capability
