Business continuity
Protect your business continuity and minimize losses in the event of security incidents.
Why is business continuity important?
No company is 100% protected against emergency or disruptive events that may affect its business.
Business continuity makes it possible to plan and prepare in advance for the management of these unexpected events to ensure that an organization has the capacity to continue performing its functions and activity, minimizing any losses that may occur.
Companies must be prepared to prevent, protect themselves and react to incidents that may affect them and impact their business.
What is business continuity?
Business continuity is the ability of a company to maintain its activity in the face of unforeseen events.
This planning allows the establishment of a series of risk management processes and procedures aimed to avoid service interruption and restore the company's normal activity as quickly, fast and easily as possible.
Downtime or interruption of services is not an option, so establishing business continuity plans has become a maxim for any organization.
Main benefits of having a business continuity plan in place
The ability to resist the effects of an incident (resilience), minimizing losses and gaining a competitive advantage over the competition in times of crisis.
Agility and speed to make the right decisions and manage business interruption while minimizing the economic, image or liability consequences.
In-depth knowledge of the company that allows for greater flexibility in the event of interruption of its activities.
Avoid penalties for breach of contract as a supplier of products or services.
Have a structured methodology for resuming the company's activity after an interruption and classify assets to prioritize their protection, start-up and recovery.
Increase its prestige with customers and stakeholders.
Good business continuity planning saves time and money and enhances the company's reputation by avoiding interruption of its most essential activities or services.

Documented business continuity plans and procedures should be developed and maintained to provide guidance and information to enable teams to respond to a disruptive incident and recovery of normal operations. Plans should be available where and when needed.
BOTECH will be able to support you in developing Business Continuity Plans contemplating:
- Details of actions to be taken by each team to continue or recover prioritized activities, monitor the impact of the disruption and the organization's response.
- Reference to predefined thresholds and processes to trigger the response.
- Details to manage the immediate consequences of a disruption taking into account the well-being of people and the prevention of further disruption of prioritized activities.
Technology Continuity Plans
Organizations should document and maintain critical systems continuity plans and procedures responsible for providing guidance and information to IT recovery teams to respond to the disruption and assist the organization with response and recovery.
Our approach seeks to identify the actions that IT recovery teams must execute to continue or recover the critical systems that support the prioritized actions.
Crisis Management Plan

At BOTECH we support you in defining an Exercise and Test Program consistent with the continuity objectives and based on the appropriate scenarios, supporting you in developing competencies as well as knowledge for the roles responsible for recovery, evolving step by step in the complexity of the exercises and tests with the maturity level of the organization.
Business Continuity Indicators
Organizations need to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) to ensure that it can achieve its intended results. You need to determine what to track and measure.
BOTECH supports organizations in establishing monitoring and measurement actions, as well as the personnel responsible for measurement, taking into account competence and impartiality.
Additionally, he develops dashboard models that will allow organizations to have executive reporting aligned to their strategic planning. Indicators can be defined for response capacity, number of plans vs. critical processes, continuity management processes, implementation of continuity initiatives, among others.
