I am a DRII Certified Business Continuity Consultant. As a freelancer, I have written over 100 ISO22301 compliant business continuity plans for clients. My services mainly target small to mid-size businesses but I have and can work with larger clients.
What is Business Continuity?
Business continuity planning is the process of preparing for business disruptions which can be caused by natural and man-made events. Business continuity plans can take many forms from documents to spreadsheets to paid software programs which range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.
Business continuity can be broken down into three phases:
1. Planning and prevention
2. Disaster response
3. Return to normal
Tempest Risk Management is a select group of Certified Business Continuity Professionals who have assisted organizations throughout the world in every aspect of developing business continuity plans and management programs. Business continuity programs reduce operational risk and and increase organizational resilience.
Tempest can help strengthen your companies position for all three phases by providing continuity plan review or construction, providing emergency logistical support during a disaster and consulting during your return to normal phase.
Why Should I Have a Business Continuity Plan?
Save $1000's, secure more investors and clients.
Investors, clients and insurance companies want re-assurance that you can roll with the punches. Being prepared for business disruptions can build your confidence, reassure your investors and clients, help you secure loans and grants and, ultimately, keep you open for business when the inevitable happens.
Long story short: Business Continuity SAVES and MAKES MONEY!
