Frequently Asked
Questions
Read some of the most frequently asked questions regarding our business continuity and resilience services.
What is business continuity planning?
Business continuity planning is the process of creating a framework that ensures your organisation can continue operating during and after a disruptive event. It covers everything from IT disaster recovery and data protection to staff communication, alternate work locations and supply chain resilience. A good BC plan identifies your critical functions, defines how to maintain them and documents the steps to recover fully.
How is it different from disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery focuses specifically on restoring IT systems and data after an outage or failure. Business continuity is broader - it covers the entire organisation, including people, processes, communications and facilities. DR is a component of BC, but a comprehensive continuity plan also addresses scenarios like key staff unavailability, supply chain disruption, regulatory incidents and reputational events.
How often should plans be tested?
We recommend testing your business continuity plans at least twice a year, with a mix of tabletop exercises and more involved simulation drills. Plans should also be reviewed and tested whenever there is a significant change to your business, such as a new site opening, a system migration or a change in key personnel. Regular testing ensures your plans remain current and your teams know what to do.
Do you help with ISO 22301?
Yes. ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management systems. We help organisations align their BC programmes with ISO 22301 requirements, including business impact analysis, risk assessment, strategy development, plan documentation and exercise programmes. Whether you are pursuing formal certification or simply want to follow best practice, we can guide you through the process.
How long does it take to create a BC plan?
For a single-site business, a comprehensive BC plan can typically be developed within 4-6 weeks. Multi-site organisations with complex operations and dependencies may require 2-4 months. The timeline depends on the scope of your operations, the number of critical functions and how readily available your stakeholders are for workshops and reviews. We work efficiently and keep the process as straightforward as possible.
