Business
Resilience Management (BRM) ensures that
companies identify and design critical business processes so that they can
overcome emergency situations as soon as possible or even prevent them in
advance.
As a management process, BRM tries to
achieve identifying major risks that expose a threat to the organization’s
survival and set counteractions at any early stage. To ensure their ability to
function and survive, companies need to take preventive measures to create more
robust, fail-safe business processes and enable fast, targeted reactions in the
case of emergency or crisis. BRM provides a planned, organized approach to sustainably
increase the robustness of essential or time-critical business processes,
respond to damaging events accordingly, and return to business as usual as
quickly as possible.
The goal of BRM is to minimize
temporary disruptions to important business processes or eliminate them
entirely and secure the company’s economic existence in the case of major
damaging events. This requires a holistic view of all factors to continue
critical business processes, and not simply the resource of information
technology, in case of a damaging event. IT service continuity management
(ITSCM) is one component of BRM.
GLDNHRN ONEGRC supports all relevant steps along the entire BRM lifecycle:
Business impact analysis .Identifying business-critical processes
Running damage analyses (categories and scenarios for damage and protection requirements)
Collecting restore parameters (e.g. max. tolerated downtime, max. tolerated data loss, recovery time and level)
Setting priorities and criticality .Collecting resources for normal and emergency operations
Defining criticality and the order for restarting resources
