A BCP that stays current and accurate.
Plans that are not maintained become useless. We review and update your BCP annually and after every significant business change. Your plan always reflects your actual business, not what it looked like two years ago.
65%
of BCPs become significantly inaccurate within 18 months without active maintenance
Annual
review cycle as a minimum, with change-triggered updates throughout the year
100%
of updates reviewed and signed off by client leadership
Full
version control and audit trail maintained for every BCP
BCP maintenance that keeps pace with your business.
Annual Structured Review
Comprehensive annual review of your entire BCP against your current business operations. Every section assessed for accuracy, relevance, and completeness. Nothing assumed to still be correct.
Change-Triggered Updates
BCP updated whenever a significant business change occurs. New systems, office moves, acquisitions, key staff changes, and new suppliers all trigger a targeted BCP review rather than waiting for the annual cycle.
Contact List Maintenance
Staff contact lists, supplier contacts, and escalation paths verified and updated quarterly. Outdated contact details are one of the most common BCP failures. We eliminate this risk.
Lessons Learned Integration
Findings from BCP tests, near-miss incidents, and actual disruptions integrated into the plan. Every incident is an opportunity to improve. We capture and embed those improvements.
Regulatory and Standards Alignment
BCP reviewed against current regulatory requirements and standards including ISO 22301, ISO 27001, and sector-specific requirements. Changes in standards reflected in your documentation.
Version Control and Audit Trail
Every version of your BCP maintained under version control with a full audit trail. Previous versions retained. Changes documented with rationale. Auditors and insurers can see the full history.
From scheduling to signed-off update.
Annual Review Scheduling
Annual review scheduled and diarised at the start of each year. Review date agreed with your leadership team. Preparatory questionnaire sent in advance to capture known changes.
Change Identification
Changes to your business, infrastructure, staff, and suppliers identified through the preparatory questionnaire and a structured review session with your team.
BCP Gap Analysis
Current BCP assessed against identified changes. Sections requiring update identified and prioritised. Gaps between current plan and current business reality documented.
BCP Update and Redrafting
BCP updated to reflect current business operations. Changed sections redrafted, contact lists updated, and recovery procedures revised where necessary.
Leadership Review and Sign-Off
Updated BCP presented to your leadership team for review and sign-off. Changes highlighted for efficient review. Ownership reconfirmed for any changed roles.
Distribution and Storage Update
Updated BCP distributed to all holders. Previous version archived. Storage locations updated. Next review date confirmed and diarised.
BCP maintenance delivered across the UK.
Challenge: A Cambridge technology firm had a BCP produced two years earlier that no longer reflected their business. They had moved offices, changed their cloud infrastructure, and replaced several key staff.
Outcome: Annual review completed. BCP updated to reflect current operations. Three critical gaps identified including an outdated DR site location. All resolved within 30 days of the review.
Challenge: A Bristol professional services firm needed to demonstrate annual BCP review to their cyber insurer at renewal. They had no evidence of any review since the plan was originally produced.
Outcome: Annual review completed and documented. Formal review report produced as evidence for the insurer. Renewal completed with no premium increase and improved coverage terms.
Challenge: A Liverpool retailer had acquired two new businesses in the previous year. Their BCP covered only the original business and made no reference to the acquired entities or their systems.
Outcome: BCP updated to cover all three entities. Supplier risk section expanded to cover new supplier relationships. Communication cascade updated to include acquired business staff.
