Cyber Resilience
Successful crisis management: A well thought-out, synergetic cyber resilience and business continuity management strategy increases resilience and resilience in stormy seas.
Even with the most advanced technology, a ship is not considered unsinkable, so lifeboats and a proven evacuation plan are essential
Smooth operational processes are the be-all and end-all for a company’s success. However, threats such as cyber attacks, system and network failures or natural disasters can severely disrupt your business activities at any time. Robust crisis management structures are required as part of a holistic business continuity management (BCM) system to ensure that your company can cope with such crises in the best possible way.
Foundation for action competence
Stable governance with clearly regulated roles, authorisations and escalation processes is central and unavoidable. Clear company guidelines such as policies, processes and security guidelines provide the framework for action. Regular training for your employees ensures risk awareness and crisis management knowledge at all levels.
Risk management
Unverzichtbar ist eine ganzheitliche Risikobehandlung und -überwachung. Nebst IT-Sicherheitsrisiken müssen auch Schwachstellen in Organisationsstrukturen, Prozessen und Personalsituation beleuchtet werden. So lässt sich das gesamte Bedrohungspotenzial für Ihr Unternehmen erfassen und bewerten. Darauf aufbauend erfolgen Massnahmenableitung und Prioritätensetzung.
A reality check
Crisis exercises are an indispensable part of a robust BCM to identify weak points and risks. Crisis teams, communication and response procedures are realistically simulated and put through their paces. Depending on the risk profile, a balanced mix of annual main exercises and more frequent, focussed special scenarios such as ransomware attacks is recommended.
Technical recovery tests are another critical component of the regular review and maintenance of corporate resilience.
Continuous evolution
Both corporate structures and the threat landscape are extremely dynamic. BCM for your company must therefore be constantly developed and adapted to current circumstances. Following significant changes or incidents that have occurred, you should promptly review your crisis preparedness.
Sustainable protection of core processes
Business continuity management is demanding and requires the ongoing commitment of all stakeholders in your organisation. But the effort is worth it: with robust BCM concepts, trained employees, resilient governance structures and continuous optimisation, business and mission-critical processes can be effectively protected, resilience increased and crisis situations managed in the best possible way at all times.
The BCM services
Risk assessment & prioritisation
Using customised Business Impact Analyses (BIA), we identify and evaluate your critical business processes, systems and resources as a starting point.
Strategy development & planning concept
Based on the results of the analysis, we jointly develop a holistic business continuity strategy including roles and responsibilities as well as escalation mechanisms. We also draw up emergency and restart plans for you for relevant crisis scenarios.
IT-Service Continuity Management
We develop precise failure concepts for your IT infrastructure to ensure system availability. Solutions for failover, data recovery or emergency data centres are thus dovetailed with the overarching BCM processes. We also emphasise the importance of developing appropriate test concepts and support you in failure and recovery tests.
Awareness & Simulations
Regular training and realistic crisis exercises involving your emergency teams and crisis teams are the key to sensitising your employees to risks. We support you in successively optimising your processes through targeted exercises and simulations.
Governance Consulting
Clear governance is the basis for effective emergency and crisis management. We support you in setting up suitable structures with policies, processes and defined escalation paths. You can find out more about our GRC services at GRC – ensec.
Strengthening resilience
Sooner or later, every company will be affected by a cyber attack. However, those who have invested in their own resilience will be able to minimise damage to their image and financial losses with shorter start-up times and more robust processes.
Building this resilience requires proven concepts, an understanding of individual operational processes and the respective sales market, as well as technical expertise. To strengthen resilience as efficiently and effectively as possible, it is also essential to focus on the most critical processes and their most important aspects.
