BUSINESS IMPACT ANALYSIS
SAFEGUARD YOUR BUSINESS FROM CATASTROPHIC LOSS
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifies a company’s exposure to sudden loss of critical business functions and supporting resources, due to an accident, disaster, emergency, and/or threat. A risk analysis consultant can help you through this process and provide valuable information along the way. Risk analysis for business is crucial in creating a Business Continuity Plan and ultimately safeguarding your business from catastrophic loss. Working with a business risk assessment consultant to develop your business impact analysis plan can be critical to the continuation of your business should the worst occur.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN CREATION
GETTING BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL
As business continuity consultants, it’s our duty to explain exactly what your business can gain, or avoid losing, from having a business continuity plan in place. When disaster strikes, having a tried and tested business continuity plan in place can make all the difference. Discenza Business Continuity Solutions offers comprehensive business continuity plan creation and consulting services to ensure that your business can recover faster from a disaster than those who don’t have a plan. Working closely with your team, using the results of several analysis systems, we will create a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) designed to address the different loss types for which your company is at risk to restore the critical functions of the business, getting you back to “business as usual” as quickly as possible
REVISING & UPDATING BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANS
KEEPING CONTINUITY PLANS UP TO DATE
Having a business continuity plan is crucial for the survival and longevity of your business. A BCP allows your business to continue to operate as close to normal as possible after an unexpected interruption. Too often the revising and updating of existing plans is overlooked. An out-of-date plan is worse than having no plan. Why? All businesses constantly change day to day, month to month, and year to year in both big and small increments. How will you restore your business to where it was before the disruption if the information in your plan is a year or more out-of-date?
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN TESTING EXERCISES
BCP SHOULD ACCOUNT FOR CHANGE
It is imperative to have a business continuity plan (BCP) and disaster recovery plan in place. When your business unexpectedly experiences a disruption to normal operations, you want to resume regular business operations as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Your BCP helps you achieve this goal. Having a plan is important. Revising and exercising your plan is crucial.
POST BUSINESS DISRUPTION DEBRIEFING
CONDUCTING A THOROUGH POST-EVENT DEBRIEFING
You’ve established a solid business continuity plan and are preparing for a disruption to your company. When a disaster does strike, you work through your plan as efficiently as possible and get back to business as usual as quickly as possible. Now what? Now you conduct a thorough post-event debrief. A debrief is important after a disruption as well as after an exercise. Discenza Business Continuity Solutions can help your company establish a thorough event debriefing plan.

Testimonials
David did excellent work in preparing a professional business continuity plan for our company. Our situation was unusual, but David took the time to understand it, and to define and document the appropriate protocols in the event of a disaster. He also instructed us on how to communicate, maintain, and exercise the plan. We would highly recommend David’s services to any company with similar needs – Charles Durkin – Chief Executive Officer, Privakey, Inc
David assisted Quickie Manufacturing in developing and documenting a Business Continuity Plan. He did an outstanding job. He managed the project, was on-time and under budget. He drove the project and required minimal assistance from Quickie’s team member in completing the project – John Thompson – Former VP – Finance at Quickie Manufacturing
David’s end-to-end thought leadership approach to a project includes understanding the current state, and desired point of arrival to clearly define project objectives. This structured approach results in a comprehensive project road map, including metrics, to objectively measure outcomes and results – Kathleen Haggerty – Vice President, American Express
David worked as a consultant to oversee a business continuity project for our company. We had a constrained timeline and limited resident knowledge of the subject and required David to do most of the heavy lifting. David took the reins of the project from the start and thoroughly managed the project until completion. Working with many individuals from multiple departments, David quickly interviewed and extracted the necessary knowledge and put it all together in a cohesive document that met all our criteria. I hope to work with David again in the near future! – Edward Gresch – Former Executive VP – I.T. at Quickie Mfg. Corp.
