Business Continuity Management (BCM) minimizes business risks. Whether it's cyberattacks, loss of data access due to ransomware, or unexpected staff and production outages caused by pandemics or natural disasters – such events can significantly disrupt business operations and lead to costly downtime with severe economic consequences. BCM enables you to actively counter these risks. By securing your business-critical processes and resources in advance, you ensure that your operations continue reliably – today, tomorrow, and into the future.How does BCM work?
Find out more!Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic management process. It is the tool that enables organizations to identify potential threats, analyze their impact on business operations, and ensure that critical processes can continue without interruption – even in times of crisis.
In short: BCM is your emergency plan for worst-case scenarios.
While senior management is primarily responsible for establishing a BCM system, its implementation should be supported and guided by an expert team.
What Are the Benefits and ROI of BCM for Your Organization?
The first step is to establish the framework for the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), including conducting Business Impact Analyses to identify critical business processes and resources. This is followed by a risk assessment to evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Based on the organizational analysis, the company develops strategies to strengthen its resilience. This enables the organization to respond quickly and effectively to disruptions.
Now it’s time to move into implementation. Emergency planning defines specific measures and clear action guidelines for responding quickly and effectively to unforeseen events.
The effectiveness of the measures and emergency plans is regularly tested through drills and exercises to ensure their reliability. If necessary, the measures are promptly adjusted based on the results.
All employees must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and awareness to actively contribute to maintaining business operations. To achieve this, they are trained as part of dedicated education and awareness programs.
The end of the initial setup of a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) is just the beginning. What truly matters is the ongoing review and continuous development of the system. This continuous refinement helps to steadily improve the maturity level of the management system over time.
