Business Continuity
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
Many organizations that have built an enterprise risk management program still don't have a tested, detailed continuity plan behind it This represents a real gap between having a risk framework on paper and being operationally ready to respond to a disruption. Having a risk framework on paper does not always mean an organization is operationally ready to respond to a disruption, highlighting a meaningful difference between planning and preparedness. An enterprise risk management (ERM) program without a tested continuity plan is missing the operational resilience component a real response requires.
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), 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, not a separate exercise disconnected from it.
