Nuclear-proof sustainability

Our Business Continuity Management has been reliably tested in the face of real disaster. We were able to foresee the full-scale war in Ukraine that started in 2022, 3 months in advance. The last warning to our customers and users we issued publicly 5 days before Russian troops invaded. On the first day of the war, we successfully applied our business continuity plans and saved our company and our customers’ companies from being shut down because of military action.

Apart from military action and the familiar quarantines, there are many other threats of disasters and catastrophes that can affect your business. For example:

Natural disasters
Terrorist attacks
Political change or unrest
Reputational damage and scandalous problems
Cyber-attacks, ransomware, and data breaches
Human error (e.g. gas leakage, chemical explosion, fire, oil spill or equipment damage)
Deliberate sabotage
Critical utility shutdowns
Supply chain disruption
Lack of key skills
Regulatory changes

BCP (Business Continuity Planning) ‘business continuity planning’ is the term used to describe the business process that must remain operational during and after an incident.

DRP (Disaster Recovery Planning) ‘disaster recovery plan’ is a term used to describe the plans a company will use to respond to a natural disaster or other critical event.

The difference between BCP and DRP is that BCP focuses on high-level proactive business resilience planning, while DRP focuses on reactive system maintenance, i.e. in terms of incident response. Modern business security management theory includes DRP either as part of the BCP process or as part of a separate BCDR process – Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.

With BCP and DRP, we can help you:

keep your business running during and after an incident
recover from disruptions faster
reduce the cost and duration of any disruptions
save lives in disasters and catastrophes
reduce and insure against financial and other risks
win the trust of clients and partners and protect the company’s reputation
comply with regulatory and statutory requirements
gain valuable information about the safety criticality of your assets
