Business Continuity Planning
Fires, floods, power failures, cyber incidents, supply disruption, civil unrest — disruption rarely announces itself. Business continuity planning tells your organisation exactly how to keep critical operations running, and how fast to bring the rest back. Built for risk, operations, IT and administration leaders who own uptime.

The Overview
Know what must keep running — and exactly how you'll keep it running
Business continuity planning helps organisations identify critical business activities, acceptable downtime and recovery priorities—and prepare to maintain operations during disruption.
We begin with a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify critical processes, establish realistic Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and map dependencies across people, sites, systems and suppliers. We then develop practical continuity and recovery strategies aligned to your operational needs, risk profile and budget.
How we operate
A four-phase approach, from impact analysis to live exercise
We work in clear phases so you always know what is being delivered, who is involved from your side, and what you hold at the end of each stage. Every phase produces something usable — not just a report.
Phase 1 — Analyse
We run a business impact analysis across your critical functions: what each one delivers, what it costs per hour or day when it stops, its maximum tolerable downtime, and the people, sites, systems, data and suppliers it depends on.
Phase 2 — Strategise
We identify realistic continuity options for each critical process — alternate sites, work-from-home fallback, manual workarounds, cross-trained staff, backup suppliers, redundant infrastructure — and cost them against the downtime risk so leadership can make an informed choice.
Phase 3 — Build
We write the plans: activation triggers and thresholds, the continuity team structure and decision authority, process-level recovery procedures, communication protocols, and site-level annexures with quick-reference action cards.
Phase 4 — Test and improve
We validate the plan with table-top exercises and live recovery tests, measure the actual recovery time against your stated RTOs, debrief honestly, and update the plan and dependency map.

-
It covers a business impact analysis to identify critical processes and recovery time objectives, a dependency map of people, sites, systems and suppliers, continuity and recovery strategies, the written plan with activation triggers and roles, training for plan owners, and a testing and review cycle. Scope can be a full programme or a single component. It is distinct from emergency response, which handles the incident itself.
-
Emergency response protects people during the incident. Disaster recovery usually refers to restoring IT systems and data. Business continuity covers the whole business — how critical operations keep running or resume, including people, sites, suppliers and processes. In practice all three should connect, and we design them to.
-
Start with the business impact analysis. Without it you are guessing at priorities, and continuity investment tends to get spread thinly instead of targeted.
The BIA typically takes a short, focused engagement and gives you a ranked, costed view that makes every subsequent decision easier.
-
A single-site BIA and plan is usually a matter of weeks. Multi-site or multi-entity programmes run longer and are phased, often by criticality rather than geography. Testing follows plan sign-off. We give you an indicative timeline after the scoping conversation, based on the number of sites, the number of critical processes and how much usable documentation already exists.
-
Yes, and it usually works better that way. Business continuity planning connects directly with crisis and emergency response planning, security and vulnerability assessments, SOP development and security audits. The same site and operational knowledge feeds all of them, so you avoid several separate teams asking your people the same questions.
