The ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to sudden disruptions in your business requires a combination of preventative control and mindful action. We have long subscribed to the benefits of addressing business resilience as an ongoing Program rather than a one off 'project'.

Improving your business resilience requires planning, monitoring and effectively responding to crises and should be improved over time. Equally, staff skills require on-going improvement through training and exercising.

This is more than just Business Continuity.

Our new Business Resilience-as-a-Service offering will help your business develop a business resilience Program that includes:


  • Developing a Policy and governance arrangements
  • Developing, reviewing or enhancing your Business Continuity and Crisis Management Plans
  • Integrating with other recovery plans
  • Training and exercising staff


Need to justify your investment?

We have developed a calculator to assist in the development of a business case for an investment in Business Resilience-as-a-Service. The calculator quantifies the financial impact of an outage on the organisation’s revenues. For many organisations, the ability to recover one or two days faster in a given year, will pay for the annual cost of the Program – yielding an excellent return on investment.

The ROI of building resilience into business as usual

BCI, Jim Preen | May 18

Why do businesses avoid crucial planning? The reasons aren’t hard to find. Apart from total disaster junkies no one particularly likes to think about crises and for most SMEs just surviving is a daily struggle. Keeping all the plates spinning in the air requires 100% attention, who is going to slice out even 1% just to consider a bunch of scary ‘what if’ scenarios? 

2015 Cost of Data Breach Study

The Ponemon Institute | 19 September

The 2015 Cost of Data Breach Study: Global Study, sponsored by IBM, quantifies the economic impact of data breaches and observes cost trends over time. We believe a better understanding of the cost, the root causes and factors that influence the cost will assist organizations in determining the appropriate amount of investment and resources needed to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an attack.
