06 — Business continuity

Thinking beyond the emergency.

Managing a crisis is only one step: the real question is how the organization keeps functioning during it — and afterward.

Our support

PCA, PRA, PCI, PRI: four documents, one partner.

Four acronyms, four distinct workstreams. We make them tactical and operational — simple for your teams to use and understand, not binders that never get reopened — from drafting through to implementation.

PCA

Business Continuity Plan

How your essential activities keep running during and after a crisis.

  • 1 Assessment of your critical activities and breaking points
  • 2 Drafting quick-reference sheets and decision chains
  • 3 Testing in a live exercise, then updating
PRA

Activity Recovery Plan

The return to normal operation after a major disruption.

  • 1 Defining recovery timelines and priorities
  • 2 Drafting the plan and recovery procedures
  • 3 Recovery simulation with your teams
PCI

IT Continuity Plan

How your digital tools and data remain accessible in the event of an incident.

  • 1 Mapping critical systems and data
  • 2 Drafting the plan with your technical teams
  • 3 Deployment and continuity testing
PRI

IT Disaster Recovery Plan

Restoring your IT infrastructure after a disaster.

  • 1 Recovery time (RTO) and data loss (RPO) targets
  • 2 Drafting the restoration procedure
  • 3 Failover testing under real conditions

Whether you're starting from scratch or need to bring an existing document up to date, we handle the drafting and implementation of these four plans — standalone or alongside your broader PCA.

Let's talk about your situation
Our approach

Operational plans, not binders.

A continuity plan only has value if your teams can use it under pressure, without having to re-read it. We build tactical response plans with you — step by step, role by role — designed to be activated the day they actually matter, then proven during your COMPACTRAIN® sessions so you can be sure they hold up the day you need them.

Tactical sheet Step 3/6
Role: IT Lead

Switch servers over to the backup site.

  • Alert the crisis unit
  • Cut off compromised access
  • Activate the backup site
  • Confirm the switch to teams

In practice

What you walk away with.

At the end of our engagement, you walk away with field-ready documents, built to be opened and executed under pressure.

Sheet 01/04

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

Every activity quantified: criticality, breaking point, RTO and RPO — documented, not estimated.

Sheet 02/04

Fallback plan

Alternate site, remote work, IT failover: the procedure, written in advance, ready to trigger.

Sheet 03/04

Activity mapping

Your essential activities mapped, with breaking points flagged by priority.

Sheet 04/04

Testing calendar

An annual testing calendar, to keep the plan operational.
