Before an emergency
Be prepared
Over the years, threats to the way organisations carry out their business have been continually changing and will continue to do so in the future. It is the responsibility of the organisation to consider these threats and put in place a strategy to help mitigate the threats.
Business continuity management is a process that provides a framework for an organisation to recover in the event of any disruption.
Why is it important to have a business continuity plan?
A business continuity plan provides guidance, checklists and contact details which would be a benefit for the organisations recovery following a disruption.
