BS 25999-2 Business Continuity Management

Business Continuity isn't just about IT systems and backing up your data every night; it is about how the business as a whole is able to function after an incident or disruption such that it can survive as a business until normal business operations can be resumed.  Having a Business Continuity Management (BCM) is about thinks about possible risks before they happen and planning, training, exercising and reviewing what the business needs to achieve to safeguard the interests of it's stakeholders, reputation and brand.  Cnik can assist you in creating a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) and making sure your business can survive the unfortunate consequences of a threat to your business so contact us at enquiries@cnik.co.uk.

Why is Business Continuity important?

Business Continuity forms an essential element of good business management and is applicable to most organisations.  Directors and Managers of companies that come under the Companies Act also have a responsibility to maintain the ability of an organisation to function without disruption and a social responsibility to their stakeholders and employees.  Many larger companies also look to the companies in their supply chain to have business continuity plans as a prerequisite to joining or maintaining preferred supplier status.

All businesses are subject to the risk of disruptions by events such as technology failures, flooding, utility disruption, fire, loss of access to locations, or terrorism.  Business Continuity Management (BCM) provides the ability to react to business operation disruptions while protecting the company and its' stakeholders.
