business-continuity

“Expect the Unexpected” and remain “alert but not alarmed” are essential in today’s world of disruptions ranging from minor disruptions to catastrophic disruptions. How quickly – and painlessly – you manage to get back to ‘business as usual’ in the event of a terrorist attack, fire, flood or other natural disasters, or any other major interruption, depends on how effectively you can devise, and put into action, your own business continuity management.

Pricoris’ consulting and management services will help you minimize your company’s level of risk and increase your resiliency.

Current State Assessment (CSA) of the Business Continuity Program

Pricoris’ Current State Assessment (CSA) provides an in-depth assessment of the capability and maturity of your current Business Continuity and IT Disaster Recovery Programs based on industry best practices and standards like GPG (BCI) and ISO 22301. The CSA will provide you with detailed findings, recommendations, and metrics defining the current maturity and recovery capability of your programs. At the end of the study, Pricoris provides expert recommendations to heighten the sophistication and maturity of your recovery programs. The CSA is an excellent first step for new and existing programs to establish a baseline of maturity and capability and to develop a roadmap for future improvement.

Implement Business Continuity

While many organizations have information technology recovery plans, we have found that many fail to address business process continuity. Our teams design effective and thorough recovery plans and strategies that address the real impacts of an outage on your business operations. From the BIA to plan development and testing, our consultants help you mitigate business, environmental, man-made and technology risks inherent in your business using frameworks like ISO 22301.

Business Continuity Plan Exercise

Mock Exercises validate your Crisis Management Team’s ability to effectively respond to and recover from a potential or actual crisis situation. Our approach to performing a mock exercise incorporates both senior management and business unit leaders, as we guide the organization from the start of an event to successful recovery. Each scenario Pricoris uses takes a great deal of planning and in-house creativity.

Exercises keep your Business planning program in line with your business requirements and objectives on an ongoing basis by validating whether your plans will achieve your pre-defined RTOs and RPOs. Pricoris’ consultants are experts in executing tests and simulations of predefined recovery and contingency procedures and making recommendations for improvement.

Business Continuity Plan Maintenance and Continuous Improvement

Business Continuity Planning is an ongoing process. Maintaining and updating your plans is an essential phase that keeps your program in line with your business requirements and objectives. Pricoris’ BCM planning methodology, or process, provides a framework of requirements, efforts, and deliverables, each leading into the next phase of a continuous improvement cycle.
