Building Resilience in a Disrupted World

From cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions to natural disasters and pandemics, organizations today face a constant threat of business interruption. Regulators, customers, and boards expect companies to demonstrate not just a plan but a proven capability to continue critical operations under stress. Yet many organizations still rely on static spreadsheets, disconnected plans, and manual testing that fail to reflect the complexity of their operations. Without a digitized approach, resilience becomes reactive rather than strategic.

Why You Need a GRC System for Business Continuity Management

  1. Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) require a structured, repeatable framework to identify critical processes, dependencies, and recovery objectives.
  2. Continuity plans must be kept current, tested, and auditable—something manual documentation rarely achieves.
  3. Boards and regulators expect resilience reporting that demonstrates readiness across geographies, business units, and critical services.

SureStep’s Expertise in IBM OpenPages BCM

SureStep brings deep expertise in configuring IBM OpenPages BCM to reflect real-world organizational structures, dependencies, and recovery objectives. We digitize the entire lifecycle—from BIAs through response workflows—embedding governance and accountability into every step. Our specialization in data integration ensures continuity planning does not exist in isolation: risks, issues, and recovery plans are linked directly into your broader risk register. With SureStep as your partner, BCM becomes a proactive resilience capability that spans the enterprise, not just a compliance exercise.

Driving ROI from Business Continuity Management

Effective BCM is both a shield and a strategic advantage. By automating continuity planning, testing, and reporting, organizations reduce the cost of maintaining resilience programs while improving their ability to respond to disruptions. Real-time dashboards empower executives and regulators with evidence of readiness, strengthening trust and credibility.

  • Reduced administrative burden by automating BIAs, plan testing, and reporting across the enterprise.
  • Improved resilience and stakeholder confidence through proactive management of dependencies, risks, and recovery objectives.
