Business continuity management: the underestimated life insurance for companies

When everything comes to a standstill: IT risks and the importance of business continuity management. Digital transformation, cloud services and remote working are a matter of course today. But this also increases dependency on IT systems. Cyber attacks, natural disasters or internal system errors – if IT systems fail, it can quickly cost companies millions.

The invisible danger: IT failures and their consequences

Imagine your entire company’s IT goes down, production stops for a week, or hackers demand a ransom while your employees are sent home.

How would this affect your critical processes and applications? What impact would it have on turnover, customer loyalty and reputation?

Many companies rely on the assumption that “nothing will happen” – until it does. This is where Business Continuity Management (BCM) comes into play.

BCM for the availability of your business IT services

BCM ensures that organisations remain capable of acting even in crisis situations. It’s about more than just backups – it’s about proactive planning, risk assessment and structured emergency responses.

Effective BCM includes:

  • Risk analysis: Identification of critical systems and processes
  • Emergency plans: Clear instructions for crisis situations
  • Regular tests: Simulations to test resilience
  • Training: So that everyone involved knows what to do in an emergency
