Stage 5: Exercising, Maintenance and Audit

Your Business Continuity Plan isn’t proven until it’s physically tested. Assumption that it will work in a time of crisis creates nothing more than false confidence. To develop that confidence we create and monitor exercises to test either components of your plan or its entirety. We can also audit your plan periodically to identify and document any issues that need addressing. This stage is critical in ensuring that changes to your continuity processes are identified early and incorporated into your plan.
