Business Continuity Program Assessment · Business Continuity
Where does our BC program really stand?
For Chief risk officer, business continuity manager, compliance officer
An objective view of how your business continuity program works in practice. We review documentation and interview leadership and each business unit, score ten program components on a five-level maturity scale benchmarked against ISO 22301, agree with leadership what “good enough” looks like, and give you a prioritized roadmap to get there. It is an advisory assessment, not a certification audit, and it is often the first step in a resilience program.

Questions leaders ask
Will this make us compliant or certified?
Our methods align with standards such as ISO 22301, ISO/IEC 27031, ISO 22361 and NIST CSF 2.0, and the work produces the documentation and evidence auditors look for. Whether you are compliant is a matter for your compliance team and auditors, and certification is performed by accredited certification bodies.
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.
Is the work done on site?
Defined services are delivered remotely, on a schedule agreed with you. On-site sessions can be discussed during scoping.
