Do our business units have plans they will actually use?

For Business continuity manager, department heads, risk management lead

Talk to us about thisHow it works
You receivePlan template and development standard · Up to six standalone business unit continuity plans · Recovery procedures, workarounds, contact lists and call trees
Timing and scopeConfirmed with you after a first conversation, once we understand your organization.
What happens nextA walkthrough and handover, then a test to prove it works.

A plan is only useful if the people named in it can pick it up during a disruption and act. We build standalone plans owned by each business unit, in a consistent format, around agreed recovery priorities. Kalosys writes the plans in workshops with your teams, validates them in walkthroughs with the people who will use them, then hands over a maintenance guide and trains plan owners so the plans stay current.

Questions leaders ask

How often should plans be tested and updated?

At least annually, and after major changes or incidents.

What is the difference between BC testing and DR testing?

BC testing validates that business processes can continue; DR testing validates that IT systems can be recovered. Crisis drills test leadership, decisions and communications.

How long does it take to build a full BC program?

It depends on size and how much already exists. Programs typically take six to nine months to launch, at a pace that fits your team's capacity.

Why it matters nowThe numbers behind this
Nearly 40%of organizations have suffered a major outage caused by human error in the past three years (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2025)
85%of those human-error outages stem from staff failing to follow procedures, or from flaws in the procedures themselves (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2025)
