Business Continuity Management
Business Continuity Management is the procedure that helps manage risks
to the seamless running of an organisation or delivery of a service, ensuring
continuity of critical functions in the event of a disruption and effective
recovery there after.
It is a government objective that all organisations have a clear understanding
of business continuity and its importance and foster discussion of how
best to achieve business continuity. With new regulations such as Corporate
Governance and Sarbanes Oxley, Business Continuity Management has now become
a business imperative.
Alongside the regulation, in recent years, organisations around the world
have begun to realise that there is a critical need for Business Continuity
Management.
It is important that when considering how and when any measures are introduced
that guidance is sought to ensure the planning and implementation is conducted
in an efficient and cost effective manner.
The analysis of an organisation’s requirements needs to be wide reaching
involving considerations of all stakeholders both internally and externally.
It is not uncommon for a business to fail to recover from a disaster and
the reason is often failure to protect the infrastructure and those that
use it. Consequently customer expectations are no longer met and the image
of the organisation is damaged.

which provide expert advice on how to approach these issues and put the
building blocks in place in the event of a disaster.
The key benefits on initiating business continuity management are:
- Protect investment
- Meet customers expectations
