Once the Business Continuity Management (BCM) Program components including the BCM governance and policy, Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and IT Disaster Recovery planning (DRP) are developed and implemented, they will need to be operationalized and continuously updated, tested and enhanced. This typically means that internal staff will need to be allocated to support the BCM program activities within the organization, and most of the time, this will be in addition to their regular job activities.

StratoGrid Advisory offers the BCM as a Service (BCMaaS) capability, which will assist your organization with all operational aspects of the BCM Program. This service is specially designed for small to mid-size organizations with a limited BCM Program resources. Once the BCM Program is implemented, we will establish a regular review cycle with your team, update the BCM Program components and ensure that all changes are captured, implemented and communicated.

Our BCMaaS offering comes with an in-house developed BCM Program management tool.  We could also facilitate an access to an optional, third-party software platform, designed to enhance and simplify all operational aspects of your organization’s BCM Program (if this approach is a cost-effective option for smaller organizations). Leveraging a Software as a Service (SaaS) BCM tool enables your organization with the following additional capabilities:
