Business continuity management - emergency management for companies

Business continuity management (BCM) provides a strategic framework to prepare companies so that they can continue operation of critical business processes in the event of business interruptions. The objective is to minimise the potential impact of disruptions or crises and make it possible to resume normal operations as quickly as possible. BCM is an integral part of business resilience, preventing long-term damage and loss by reducing the period of downtimes. At a time when organisations are increasingly dependent on digital processes, business continuity management and a functioning emergency management system are becoming more and more key when it comes to guaranteeing the continuous operation and reliability of IT systems while ensuring compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about business continuity management

What is the objective of Business Continuity Management (BCM)?

The primary goal of business continuity management is to prepare companies for unplanned business interruptions, downtimes and crises and to ensure that critical business processes can be kept up and running or restored as quickly as possible under all circumstances. Business continuity management minimises the impact of disruptions on business activities, thus safeguarding the interests of stakeholders, brand value and supply chains.

We are also able to support you in process management and assume the project management in the implementation of your business continuity management system.

What does a GAP analysis involve as an element of business continuity management?

In a GAP analysis in the context of business continuity management, we assess the difference between the current status of your organisation with regard to everything relating to business continuity as well as in terms of the objectives or requirements set out in standards such as BSI Standard 200-4. This analysis helps to identify where knowledge already exists, what guidance and policies may already be in place, where improvements are needed to meet business continuity requirements and what steps are necessary to develop a robust emergency management system, including a contingency plan for emergency and recovery processes.

Why is a business impact analysis (BIA) crucial for business continuity management?

A BIA is crucial because it identifies which business processes are essential and what the impact of an interruption to these processes would be like. It helps companies prioritise, allocate resources appropriately and develop effective recovery strategies that ensure key functions can be kept in operation in the event of a crisis.

What is the difference between business continuity management and IT risk management?

Business continuity management (BCM) and IT risk management are important aspects of organisational resilience, but they differ in terms of their focus and scope. BCM is a comprehensive approach ensuring that an organisation's critical business processes can be kept in operation, quickly restored and continued during and after an interruption, regardless of the cause. It boils down to the continuity of the entire organisation and includes physical and non-physical aspects such as human resources, different company locations and business partners.

IT risk management, on the other hand, focuses specifically on the identification, assessment and treatment of risks that affect the IT infrastructure and data. The aim is to manage potential IT security threats and take measures to protect and safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of IT systems and data.

While IT risk management can be a component of BCM, as information technology is often a critical aspect of maintaining business processes, BCM covers a broader spectrum, including planning to assure the continuity of all essential business functions.
