Planning for the unexpected
Prior planning and preparation are essential to ensure your organisation can quickly respond and successfully manage an unexpected incident or disruptive event. Every organisation needs a practical foundation to protect what’s most important to them, including your people, assets, reputation, market share, financial stability, regulatory compliance and even long term viability.

Policy and Frameworks
Policy and Frameworks will assist an organisation to clearly define the implementation and management approach for their Resilience Program, aligned with best practice standards or guidelines. This includes considerations for Emergency and Incident Management, Crisis Management and Business Continuity.
Threat Assessments
A threat assessment identifies key threats that may result in significant business disruptions to an organisation. Threats are identified, rated against likelihood and consequence scales and then assessed against control measures. Findings are applied to the BIA process and used in the identification of disruption scenarios and development of recovery strategies.
Business Impact Analysis
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is the foundation for any effective resilience program. It is conducted to accurately map the vulnerabilities of the organisation, identify critical functions, align recovery time frame, plan key resources and manage organisational dependencies.
Response & Recovery Plans
Response & Recovery Plans are task orientated documents that set out the processes and procedures to be followed during an incident or business disruption. By allowing for management and assessment of risk, these plans continue to add value to your business continuity and make it simple and easy to use for essential emergency requirements, operational recovery and resumption, through to top level strategic management of the event.
Emergency Response Plans
A tactical response plan focused on the immediate response to an incident to ensure the safety of people and property.
Incident Management Plans
These plans assess the risk as well as focus on the immediate and short-term response to an incident for complex environments and places of mass gatherings.
Business Continuity Plans
Business Continuity plans hone in on the operational recovery from a disruption to ensure continuity of services and products to an acceptable predefined level.
Cyber Response Plans
Cyber Response Plans target the strategic and operational level actions to be used when faced with a major IT security incident, including IT preparedness, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and follow-up.
Crisis Management Plans
Crisis Management Plans are required during a significant event to protect the organisation’s reputation and strategic viability.
