Business continuity planning that matches how you actually operate

A written plan for keeping your organisation running when something goes wrong: an IT outage, a power failure, the loss of a supplier or a key person, a public safety incident. The plan sets out who decides what, what happens in the first hour, the first day, and the first week, and how you communicate.

ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity. Most clients don't need formal certification, but building the plan to the standard means it's structured the way regulators, insurers, funders and large customers expect. If you do need certification, the plan we build is the foundation for it.

Typically six to ten weeks for a single-site organisation, longer for more complex operations like venues or multi-site networks. We agree the timeline upfront.

No. Croke Park is the largest example, but most engagements are with mid-sized charities, public bodies and SMEs where a continuity plan is overdue. We scope the work to your operation, not to ours.

A written plan with risk and dependency maps, scenario playbooks, communications templates, and recovery objectives. Plus an exercise framework so you can test the plan rather than file it.

Both, if you want both. The plan comes with a walk-through session for the leadership team. Wider team training and tabletop exercises are scoped separately if you'd like them.

At least annually, and after any material change to the operation: a new site, a new supplier, a new IT system. Most clients schedule a light review in year one and a fuller refresh every three years.

A risk register lists what could go wrong. A continuity plan tells you what to do when something does. They sit alongside each other, and the continuity plan should map back to the highest-impact items on the risk register.
