Tesserent’s Business Continuity Services in New Zealand are focused on the loss of resources and the impact of the event, as opposed to the causation of the event.

Frequently Asked Question

What is Business Continuity Management?

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a proactive approach to ensure that an organisation can continue its critical business functions during and after a disruptive event, such as a cyberattack.

Why is Business Continuity Management important in cybersecurity?

BCM is important in cybersecurity because cyberattacks can disrupt critical business functions, leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage. BCM helps organisations to mitigate the impact of cyberattacks and minimise the downtime of critical business functions

What are the key components of a Business Continuity Management plan in cybersecurity?

The key components of a BCM plan in cybersecurity include risk assessment, business impact analysis, incident response plan, crisis management plan, communication plan, and testing and training.

What is the role of risk assessment in Business Continuity Management?

Risk assessment is a crucial component of BCM because it helps organisations to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to their critical business functions. This information can be used to prioritise risk mitigation efforts and develop a comprehensive BCM plan.

What is the purpose of a business impact analysis in Business Continuity Management?

The purpose of a business impact analysis (BIA) in BCM is to identify the critical business functions and their dependencies, and to quantify the potential impact of a disruption. This information is used to prioritise recovery efforts and develop contingency plans.

What is the role of an incident response plan in Business Continuity Management?

The incident response plan (IRP) is a set of procedures that guides an organisation's response to a cybersecurity incident. The IRP helps to minimise the impact of the incident and restore critical business functions as quickly as possible.

What is the crisis management plan in Business Continuity Management?

The crisis management plan (CMP) is a set of procedures that guides an organisation's response to a major disruptive event that threatens its operations, reputation, or stakeholders. The CMP helps to minimise the impact of the event and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.

Why is communication plan important in Business Continuity Management?

The communication plan is important in BCM because effective communication is essential during a disruptive event. The communication plan outlines how information will be disseminated to internal and external stakeholders, including employees, customers, and partners.

What is the purpose of testing and training in Business Continuity Management?

The purpose of testing and training in BCM is to ensure that the BCM plan is effective and up-to-date. Testing and training help to identify weaknesses in the plan, improve the response capabilities of personnel, and build resilience to future disruptions.

How often should a Business Continuity Management plan be reviewed and updated?

A BCM plan should be reviewed and updated regularly, at least annually or whenever significant changes occur in the organisation or its environment. This ensures that the plan remains relevant and effective in mitigating the impact of cyberattacks and other disruptive events.
