BC Testing and Exercise Program · Business Continuity
Our plans have never been exercised, and we can't show they work.
For Business continuity manager, department heads, chief risk officer
Plans go stale without testing, and teams only trust plans they have practiced. We design and run business continuity exercises, from tabletop walkthroughs to functional exercises, with the people named in the plans. Every exercise is managed and reported, so you can show leadership and auditors what works, what does not, and what has been fixed.

Questions leaders ask
Won't exercises take people away from their work?
We design exercises to minimize disruption while maximizing what you learn about readiness. Tabletop exercises are discussion-based walkthroughs of a scenario.
How often should plans be exercised?
At least annually, and after major changes or incidents.
Can you exercise BC, DR and crisis management together?
Yes. Combined scenarios show whether the business, IT and leadership plans work together.
