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Continuity plans often sit in documents that are out of date, disconnected from real dependencies and never tested.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.
Impact analysis, strategies, plans, exercises and invocations in one continuity programme
Business Continuity Management runs the continuity programme end to end: registers of processes, applications and vital records, business impact analyses with a versioned methodology, continuity risk assessment, strategies, plans from templates, exercises and plan invocation with recovery tracked against recovery time objectives.

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Continuity plans often sit in documents that are out of date, disconnected from real dependencies and never tested.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.
How it works
The 6 stages a record moves through, from the first entry to a verified close.
Stage 1
Set up programme and registers
Stage 2
Analyse impact
Stage 3
Select strategies
Stage 4
Approve plans
Stage 5
Exercise
Stage 6
Invoke and recover
Capabilities
14 documented capabilities, each verified against the product.
14 capabilities
Scope, policy, objectives and reference standards, departments in scope with their continuity champion, and a lifecycle stage per department.
Registers of business processes, IT applications and vital records that impact analyses draw on.
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.
Impact scales and rules are versioned and frozen on each analysis, so a later change never rewrites past results.
Record dependencies on processes, applications, suppliers, people, premises and vital records; misaligned recovery times and single points of failure are flagged.
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.
Impact analyses and plans go through approval with review comment threads; open comments can block approval, and changes between rounds can be compared.
Weigh options, record the chosen strategy and its cost, link it to the analysis and risks, and approve it.
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.
Business advantages
Recovery objectives derived consistently from one methodology
Dependency gaps and single points of failure surfaced
Plans tested through exercises with findings tracked
Recovery tracked live against targets during an invocation
Readiness by department visible to management
