When we perform a business continuity plan audit we cover several aspects of an organisations business continuity plan, preparations and capabilities. we break our business continuity plan audit into three kevels - each level providing an increased level of assurance that the organisations business continuity plan is effective and fit for purpose
-
Level 1. Review the content of the documented business continuity plan. This is the entry level and ensures that the plan, as documented, evidences sound process and comprehensive scope and that it is likely to comply with external compliance audits
-
Level 2: Assesses the processes and organisation established to support and maintain your business continuity plan (often referred to as a “Business Continuity Management System” or “BCMS”). At this level we look to establish that the organisation has reached a level of maturity where there is a clear process in place for ensuring the ongoing relevance of the business continuity plan and that it remains fit for purpose
-
In Level 3 we confirm the likely performance of critical components of the business continity plan such as IT recovery capabilities , alternate workplace provision and the knowledge of key role people in terms of their roles and responsibilities .
Each of these audit activities can be performed as either a separate business continuity plan evaluation or as a complete project to fit with our clients' timeframe and budget.
