Enhancing your organisation's resilience and reducing the overall level of risk to your operations
DOWNLOAD THE BROCHURE >>In today’s world, it is not a case of “if” an incident will occur, its often “when”. This is due to the ever evolving and endless list of the threats we face, such as fire, flood, cyber-attacks, ransomware, pandemics, war or supply chain disruptions. Accordingly, our defence mechanisms also need to keep up with the threat landscape.
Ensuring that the organisation is resilient is a fundamental principle of mitigating the evolving threats. Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Crisis Management are two key building blocks of this approach. The main purpose is to be able to continue to deliver business operations and services, at an acceptable level, whilst preventing any significant impact on customers, regulatory compliance, the brand, image and reputation of the organisation.
Xcina Consulting works with organisations to improve their Business Continuity Management (BCM) processes and to implement them consistently throughout the business. We also provide Crisis Management Consultancy to enhance the organisation’s ability to respond, should a serious incident occur.
In order for our consultants to design and implement the most appropriate Business Continuity Management strategy and provide the most relevant risk and crisis management solutions for your organisation, we partner with you to thoroughly understand your business operations and objectives.
By understanding our clients’ processes, supporting resources and underlying infrastructure at a detailed level, we are able to identify and address any weaknesses. We can then design and deliver business continuity and crisis management frameworks enabling the business to continue operating when an incident occurs.
As well as designing and preparing the required policies and procedures, our consultants conduct independent reviews and assessments of BCM frameworks. We also support organisations in testing their plans. This can be as “light touch” or as in depth as clients wish. We can also support tabletop exercises or scenarios that require the physical and/or technical enactment of the Business Continuity or Crisis Management plans.
By implementing effective Business Continuity Management and Crisis Management policies and procedures, organisations can realise the following benefits:
Clients will benefit from the extensive knowledge and experience of Xcina’s Business Continuity and Crisis Management Consultants who have experienced continuity incidents first hand and successfully mitigated continuity risk.

We are a BSI (British Standards Institute) Associate Consultant Programme Platinum member, helping clients obtain and maintain certification to the Business Continuity Management System (ISO/IEC 22301) Standard.
