Business Continuity Management
Robust management of business continuity (BCM) goes way beyond the traditional — and often isolated — process of simply writing a continuity or recovery plan. To truly be effective, BCM initiatives must now include long term planning and strategic planning.
The Datasouth Consulting Approach
Taking advantage of the lessons that others have learned can reduce the complexity of working through a BCM initiative. Datasouth Consulting has accumulated a wealth of experience in this field and is able to share this knowledge with our clients. Combining our familiarity of the AS/NZS:4360 and HB:221 standards with practical expertise, Datasouth Consulting can provide independent and qualified advice in the field of business continuity management.
What Datasouth Consulting Delivers
Our engagement model ensures that the technology and processes required for a robust business continuity framework are in-place and provide tangible business outcomes. During a project, members of the Consulting team undertake a risk assessment of the technology infrastructure and associated business processes. On completion of this audit, Datasouth Consulting analyses the results and presents a report with appropriate recommendations including:
- Defining required BCM policies and procedures
- Identifying necessary detection and prevention systems
- Required configuration and deployment of technology solutions
The most important phase — putting the framework into place — is where our collaborative approach truly makes the difference. Working with project stakeholders, a robust BCM strategy is created and ongoing support is established to ensure a successful implementation. Whether providing independent auditing or developing a long-term strategy for your organisation, the team at Datasouth Consulting is both experienced and practical.
