When did you last review your business continuity strategy?
Resilience and Business Continuity Management is about protecting life, maintaining cash flow, protecting company assets and retaining customers.
Business Continuity Planning and other organisational resilience activities are now high on most Board and senior management agendas and are increasingly becoming an integral part of an organisation's good business practice processes. By having effective resilience and BCM activities in place an organisation can minimize the potential impact of any unexpected incidents that take place on its personnel, assets, operations, market share and finances.
Standby’s Business Continuity Management (BCM) processes follow international best practice resilience standards and guidelines such as Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII), the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), ISO 22301 and other similar standards. Through following these guidelines Standby creates bespoke BCM programmes and plans to fit your organisation.
“From the initial scoping meetings right through to the handing over of agreed deliverables I found Standby to be thoroughly professional in outlook and execution and their written output to be first class.”

Business Continuity Risk Assessment
Business continuity risk assessments are carried out by Standby using checklists and activities developed through many years of practical experience and research. We balance our conclusions against what is appropriate to the client and the potential impact of the risk.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Strategy Designs
The Team at Standby are experienced in developing and documenting Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans.
From continuity following a major weather event or disruption to IT disaster recovery and resilience planning, these strategy designs and documents are bespoke to the organisation and are developed through deep insight gathered throughout the business.
Business Impact Analysis
The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) process is critical when trying to truly understand an organisation and it’s critical services and activities. Standby will identify the key business functions, financial exposures and the preferred time-frames in which services need to be re-established. This detail not only helps to guide any potential recovery strategies but can often help to guide ongoing business strategy as a whole.
Training, Testing and Embedding
Standby will develop and implement a testing program to ensure your plan is practical, meets the strategy criteria and can be eased followed by staff. Even if Standby has not been involved with the development of your current BCP we can plan and carry out effective workshops and exercises to test and enhance existing plans and also improve personnel awareness of BCP’s throughout the company.
