Business Continuity Management
Risk management is at the heart of the business continuity management process. Unless the potential risks are identified and their impact assessed, suitable mitigating action plans cannot be proposed and assessed for effectiveness. Key staff throughout your organisation must collaborate in the process and this could be time-consuming, involving many meetings, documents and much administration.
A collaborative working environment that supports business continuity management could streamline the process. It would allow each user to share ideas, try out alternatives, determine the most effective preventative and mitigating actions and have instant access to the relevant material in the event of a disaster - even if your premises don't exist anymore!
RiskAid Enterprise provides the solution. It is a web-based software package, designed for collaborative team working, easy to use and yet very powerful. It supports the whole business continuity management process throughout your organisation. It helps your management and staff identify risks, assess them and work out the responses or actions to deal with them. It assists in managing results and provides a mechanism for regular reviews, keeping management aware of emerging risks. RiskAid Enterprise meets the needs of the Business Continuity standard BS25999 Part 1 and Part 2 Draft (August 2007) and the US standard NFPA 1600.
In addition to managing your business continuity, the software also provides risk management for all other aspects of your business. RiskAid Enterprise provides a hierarchical framework of risk assessments to reflect your business structure and strategic objectives. It allows risks to be managed in a uniform manner throughout your organisation which means that everyone uses the same process for risk management and reports risk in the same way.
Because our software is web-based, high availability and with extensive recovery measures, your data is securely held away from your premises and immediately available if disaster should strike.
