Business Continuity

Business continuity plans built to work before they’re needed

Business continuity planning and business impact analysis determine whether an organization can keep operating, or resume quickly, when a disruption hits. Built for organizations with an enterprise risk management program but no tested, detailed continuity plan behind it.

Why It Matters

A risk framework on paper isn't the same as readiness

Business continuity and crisis recovery plans are often written once and filed away, rather than tested against realistic disruption scenarios — This represents a real gap between having a plan on paper and knowing it will work. A mature enterprise risk management (ERM) program builds organizational resilience specifically by stress-testing continuity plans against disruption scenarios; an ERM program that hasn't tested its continuity plan this way has a governance framework, not operational readiness.

HUB's Approach

Operational readiness built on a business impact analysis

HUB's business continuity planning starts with a business impact analysis, identifying which operations must continue, how quickly and what a disruption to each would cost. This gives an organization a specific, tested plan rather than an assumption that its ERM program alone covers operational readiness.

 

Because business continuity depends on coordination across information technology (IT), human resources (HR) and legal and facilities, HUB connects continuity planning to the same coordinated crisis framework used for cyber incident response, workplace violence and other operational disruptions, rather than treating continuity as a standalone document owned by one department. This planning is positioned as a component that should be tightly integrated with an organization's broader enterprise risk management program.
