The challenges facing business are rarely static. New threats and catastrophic events may not have been anticipated in existing plans, exposing operations and critical business processes to unexpected risks. During such incidents, or in the immediate aftermath, a clear strategy, robust plans and well-trained staff are required if business activity and operations are to continue.

Castleforce can assist clients, regardless of their size, to develop Business Continuity Plans to sustain good corporate governance; maintain their production targets, critical objectives, customer base, market share, reputation and public image.

Castleforce Business Continuity planning areas:

• Business impact analysis (BIA)

The BIA process is a crucial step, it enables business managers to develop a strategy to maintain their essential services (albeit possibly at a minimal level), and/or identify how long the delivery of such essential services could continue when a critical support function has failed, (e.g. the suspension of essential supplies).

• Risk and vulnerability assessment
• Business continuity planning (BCP)

BCP is “planning which identifies the organization's exposure to internal and external threats and synthesizes hard and soft assets to provide effective prevention and recovery for the organization, whilst maintaining competitive advantage and value system integrity”. It is also called Business continuity & Resiliency planning (BCRP). The logistical plan used in BCP is called a business continuity plan. The intended effect of BCP is to ensure business continuity, which is an on-going state or methodology governing how business is conducted.

• Communication strategies
• Policy integration with IT Disaster Recovery Plans
• Crisis Management strategies
• Recovery strategies
• Training, maintenance and auditing
