Overview

Why Business Continuity Management matters

The challenge

Continuity plans often sit in documents that are out of date, disconnected from real dependencies and never tested. When a disruption happens, nobody can see which processes must be back first.

How Green Codes Pro helps

Green Codes Pro derives recovery targets and priorities from the impact grid using the client's methodology, flags dependencies that cannot recover in time and single points of failure, keeps plans versioned and approved, and tracks every invocation process by process.

Capabilities

What you can do

14 documented capabilities, each verified against the product.

14 capabilities

  • Governance

    Continuity programme

    Scope, policy, objectives and reference standards, departments in scope with their continuity champion, and a lifecycle stage per department.

  • Capability

    Processes, applications and vital records

    Registers of business processes, IT applications and vital records that impact analyses draw on.

  • Capability

    Business impact analysis

    Rate impact over time per process and derive the maximum acceptable outage, recovery time objective, priority and minimum service level from the client's methodology.

  • Governance

    Versioned impact methodology

    Impact scales and rules are versioned and frozen on each analysis, so a later change never rewrites past results.

  • Capability

    Dependencies and single points of failure

    Record dependencies on processes, applications, suppliers, people, premises and vital records; misaligned recovery times and single points of failure are flagged.

  • Integration

    Continuity risk assessment

    A continuity risk assessment on the Risk module's engine, with each risk pointing at a dependency and flagged as a single point of failure where relevant.

  • Workflow

    Review comments and rounds

    Impact analyses and plans go through approval with review comment threads; open comments can block approval, and changes between rounds can be compared.

  • Workflow

    Continuity strategies

    Weigh options, record the chosen strategy and its cost, link it to the analysis and risks, and approve it.

  • Capability

    Continuity plans from templates

    Plans built from templates recover chosen processes with their strategies, recovery steps, resources and a call tree; versioned, approved, reviewed on a cycle and downloadable as PDF.
