Business Continuity describes the processes and procedures an organization puts in place to ensure that essential functions can continue during and after a business or process halting event. Business continuity planning seeks to prevent interruption of mission-critical services, and to reestablish full functioning as swiftly and smoothly as possible.

Prevention is Better than Cure…

A plan for keeping your business up and running in the face of small and large-scale interruptions is becoming a requirement for most organizations. Possibilities range from the loss of an important file to an email outage to fire, theft and full-scale natural disasters (i.e. fire, flood, etc.) The key to success is striking a balance between being prepared and living within a budget that makes sense for your organization.

The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the foundation of your business continuance effort. It enables your firm to maintain operations and credibility, should a wide range of disruption scenarios occur. Without a solid BCP, you cannot effectively recover from any significant disruption.

Fortress offers a host of consulting service offerings to meet any need. Our typical approach to Business Continuity Plan (BCP) development is to work closely with the client organization’s staff to codevelop a comprehensive plan specific to our clients recovery requirements and objectives. This provides a smart, reasonable, and cost-effective approach to maintaining your firm’s business stability and provides the necessary knowledge to update the plan internally as your organization evolves.
