Resilience and Business Continuity
Ensuring business continuity in the face of cyber incidents and major crises
Key risks related to business resilience
Low resilience makes an organization vulnerable to major incidents and prevents the rapid maintenance or restart of operations. A lack of preparedness leads to economic losses, damage to customer and partner trust, and regulatory non-compliance.
01.
- Lack of a strategy or governance dedicated to continuity
- Inconsistency in the prioritization of critical processes
- Inability to define a business continuity/operational recovery plan
02.
- Lack of understanding of business and IT interdependencies
- Limited capacity for testing or training under real-world conditions
- Lack of budget or sponsor for PRA/PCA activities
03.
- No processes aligned with NIS2 or DORA
- Delay in the implementation of a restructured business continuity plan
- Lack of justification for Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) times
04.
- No clearly defined crisis governance
- Ineffective communication internally or with stakeholders
- Underestimating the long-term impact on brand image
