Business Continuity as a Service (BCaaS)

Our Business Continuity as a Service (BCaaS) product gives you the power to quickly launch or improve your business continuity program. Our business continuity experts will manage your entire program, working as integrated members of your team to improve your organization’s resiliency.

Our BCaaS offering is built around the ISO 22301 standard for organizational resilience.

Our Approach & Methodology

Program Evaluation

Our Business Continuity as a Service offering begins with our proprietary Resiliency Diagnosis process – a complete evaluation of your existing business continuity program. You’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation report, maturity scores from our business continuity maturity model, recommendations for improvement, and a detailed plan describing the steps we’ll take to oversee your program moving forward.

Integration with your Team

Our experts will become an integrated part of your team, communicating directly with staff, management, and stakeholders as we work to manage and improve your business continuity program.

Governance, Policy, and Program Support

We’ll transition oversight of governance, policy, and program support from your team to ours. Our team will manage your governance process, documentation, annual maturity assessments, and regular briefings for stakeholders such as board members and executives.

Business Continuity Lifecycle

We’ll manage every aspect of your business continuity lifecycle, including risk assessment, business impact analysis (BIA), planning, training, continuity exercises, documentation, and assistance for business audits or compliance efforts involving the business continuity program.

You can learn more about our approach to the Business Continuity Lifecycle in our Resource Library.

Vendor Resiliency

Our team will review the relationships you have in place with your vendors, plan and conduct business continuity exercises with them, and identify vendors that warrant additional scrutiny and review. We will also work with your vendor management team and other stakeholders to monitor the resilience of your vendors.

IT Disaster Recovery Strategy & Planning

We’ll work closely with your information technology team to help you evaluate risk and create disaster recovery plans. Our team will provide business impact analysis data, highlight gaps between disaster recovery expectations and actual recovery capabilities, and assist during disaster recovery exercises led by your IT team.

Communications and Awareness Strategy

We’ll oversee the communication strategy within your company for the business continuity program. This may include posters, digital collateral, internal education campaigns, and oversight of National Preparedness Month campaign communications every September.

Program Management

Finally, we’ll provide regular updates to your stakeholders, including regular status calls, meetings, real-time reporting through our online project management tool, briefings and updates to executives and board members, and management of all meetings, conference calls, and records related to business continuity.

You can learn more about our approach to Business Continuity in our Ultimate Guide to Business Continuity.

Why Business Continuity as a Service?

Hiring an In-House Team Can be Difficult

Business continuity as a service lets you rapidly access experienced continuity experts, without having to recruit or hire them as direct employees.

Many of the companies we work with think of our team as embedded members of their teams — integrating our experts directly into their processes as we oversee their continuity programs.

In-House Teams have High Fixed Costs

The nature of business continuity is that you never know exactly when your program will be called into action. A company must build an in-house team and create its business continuity program years before a major disruption brings the team into action.

The staff costs and leadership investment required to create and maintain an in-house continuity program are significant — more than some companies want to invest.

Business continuity as a service is significantly more flexible. You’ll see improvements to your continuity program much faster than you would by hiring in-house, and you won’t have to worry about management overhead, losing staff, or replacing a key team member.

It’s Difficult to Scale In-House Capabilities when Disaster Strikes

When a disruption happens, companies often need to rapidly add members to their continuity team.

Since you can’t hire and onboard continuity experts in the critical moment, companies find themselves pulling staff with no experience in resiliency — then asking them to help in an emergency capacity.

By contrast, business continuity as a service empowers you can scale up quickly, accessing continuity experts to the team as needed — letting you adjust faster than you could otherwise.

Article: How to Outsource your Continuity Program

Many companies build and manage their business continuity program in-house — perhaps hiring experts in resiliency to help design and execute a program.

But if you lack the in-house expertise — or you need to implement a business continuity program quickly — you have another option: business continuity as a service.

Business continuity as a service is the practice of contracting with a third-party firm to design, build, execute, and maintain your resiliency program.

At Bryghtpath, we work with a variety of companies to design and maintain their business continuity programs, often using ISO 22301 as the industry standard for our service.

We offer business continuity as a service to companies of all sizes, from small consulting firms to multi-billion-dollar utilities, healthcare organizations, and technology firms.
