When time is of the essence, which is usually the case in business continuity planning, SCS’s BCP Quick Start program is your answer. BCP Quick Start swiftly establishes a basic BCP structure focusing on three areas: BCP program scope, crisis management and the establishment of initial program concepts. Through this program, you’ll gain a foundation for an internal BCP program for which to build detailed BCP plans, structures and processes. Quick Start is ideal for a company that lacks a defined business continuity program or the necessary internal expertise to define issues, approaches, or concepts for setting up an effective BCP program.

BCP Quick Start serves several important purposes:

• To help customers with no business continuity plan in place
• To audit companies that have a BCP, but are unsure of its effectiveness
• To set a consistent, planned direction for a company’s BCP
• To establish a company’s ability to respond to an event, even with a plan that is not fully established.

How does it work?
The BCP Quick Start program will deliver an initial objectives assessment, a review of strategic BCP goals and the identification of key decision points.

Your program will be built on the following concepts:

• A structure of suggested program changes to fit within your company and its culture
• The necessary BCP expertise in place to define your program’s overall direction and goals
• The ability to identify exactly how well your organization is protected from a disruption
