ADVOX designs Business Continuity Management System frameworks from the ground up, shaped around how your organisation actually works and the standards and regulators it answers to.
A BCMS that is copied from a template rarely survives its first real disruption or its first certification audit. Framework design is where ADVOX works with you to decide what the system must protect, who owns it, how it will be analysed, built and tested, and how it will show that it works.
The result is a framework that is proportionate to your size and risk, practical for your teams to run, and built to meet the requirements of ISO 22301:2019, UAE NCEMA 7000 and the BCI Good Practice Guidelines (GPG 7.0), together with sector requirements such as the central bank rules in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Understand your organisation, its products and services, interested parties and the regulatory obligations that apply, then agree a realistic BCMS scope.
Draft the BC policy, set up the steering structure, and define roles, responsibilities and decision rights so ownership is clear from day one.
Design the business impact analysis and risk assessment approach: impact criteria, timeframes, MTPD, RTO and RPO, and the dependencies to capture.
Set out the continuity strategy options for people, premises, technology, information, suppliers and other key resources.
Define the incident, crisis and business continuity plan hierarchy, escalation routes and the communications approach that links them.
Build in the exercise programme, KPIs, internal audit and management review that keep the BCMS current and audit-ready.
A board-ready policy and a clearly bounded scope that matches your risk appetite and obligations.
Steering committee terms of reference, BC roles and a responsibility matrix.
Methodology, impact criteria and templates your teams can use consistently.
Options, costs and recommendations for meeting your recovery objectives.
Incident management, crisis management and BC plan templates in one joined-up document hierarchy.
A multi-year schedule, moving from walkthroughs to full simulations.
Measures that show preparedness levels to management at a glance.
A phased plan with priorities, owners and milestones to take the design into operation.
