We’ve worked with many different clients to integrate all departments into their risk management program, and have seen problems arise from a manual, siloed approach.

You’ve been busy on your business continuity plan ("BCP"). You know how long it will take you to get your systems back up. Your alternate site is selected and ready to spring into action should the need arise. But what about everything that comes before? Do the people in your organization know what to do prior to the disaster declaration? Are you 100% certain they would know what to do and who’s responsible for what?
