Business Continuity Management (BCM) allows organizations to evaluate threats, assess impact and develop plans to mitigate the risks associated with emergency situations and the associated business interruptions. BCM efforts should be organized as part of an ongoing program that is chartered at the highest levels of the organization and which balances business resiliency requirements with the recognition that business continuity strategies are local in nature. In addition, the BCM program must take into consideration emergency response, crisis communications and coordination with public authorities as key elements that protect the interests of all stakeholders. Synapsis supports clients in planning, implementing and evaluating BCM programs to mitigate business continuity risks, including supporting functional plans such as disaster recovery plans (DRPs) in the case of information technology.
