Protecting Your Business

Business Continuity Planning is neither a luxury nor just for large companies. Every business needs to plan for its critical risks.

Planning for Survival

Planning essentially involves balancing risk reduction with contingencies for situations where those risks are realised.

Aeon Services recommends using BS25999 Best Practice

Aeon Services recognises that your organisation is unique, faces different types and levels of risks, and has developed along its own path.  To help improve your preparedness, Aeon will ask

  • Who’s involved?
  • What are your priorities?
  • What are your dependencies and single points of failure?
  • How do we respond economically and effectively to these?
  • Can you clearly state recovery targets and priorities?

Business Impact Analysis

Business Impact Analysis is the key analysis tool, providing a top-down perspective which is the basis for decision-making:

  • Recognising your mission critical activities
  • Measuring financial and non-financial impacts
  • Uncovering key dependencies
  • Anticipating problems which gather pace over time
  • Balancing views on business priorities

IT Disaster Recovery

A strong technical grounding in mainstream IT systems means Aeon Services can 'talk tech' with your IT team and play a full part in DR plan development and documentation.  Aeon has specialist experience in specifying and supervising construction of IT infrastructure and facilities.
