Advisa Solutions

The BCM Requirement

Advisa BCMS is a management tool that provides solutions for professional risk managers who must record details of their preparations for Business Continuity, including statements of policy, commitment, resources, responsibilities, and strategies. You will need planning tools to allow the scope of the system to be defined; to conduct Business Impact Analysis (where the critical processes are identified); to perform Risk Analysis (where specific vulnerabilities and their chosen controls are identified); and to perform Internal Audits (where compliance to agreed policies and procedures can be checked). Through ADVISA you can assign to responsible personnel any development and corrective activities identified, and track their progress and closure. 

What does ADVISA do for you?

Communication is an integral part embedding Business Continuity into the heart and culture of your business.  ADVISA helps you do this via its emailing facility, use of on-line training, simulation and testing, and storing staff contact lists and competency records within the management system.

The Advisa BCMS management tool is designed to conform to BS 25999-2 standard for Business Continuity Management Systems. Whether or not your business wishes to become certified, the requirements of the standard represent some of the best business practices, and hence utilising the tools and guidance within Advisa BCMS will help you reap the benefits of compliance with these standards. To do this ADVISA offers online and Android functionalities to capture process documentation, record information on incidents, exercises, audits, review both of the plans and the management system itself, record details of preventative and corrective actions implemented and management reviews, and facilitate delegation and implementation of such actions as required.

Working with your Business.

Advisa is part of a growing suite of management system tools, that comply with other standards such as ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, and ISO 27001 IT Security Management Systems. These may be integrated with the BCMS solution, and reconfigured to the exact needs of each individual business, creating a custom Integrated Management System and business manual. ADVISA is flexible and can provide customised solutions to your requirements.

System integrity.

The ADVISA management system is web-based, and hosted from a secure ISP, on highly-reliable and redundant web servers to remain active during a crisis, even when your normal IT systems may be inaccessible. Providing staff have access to a web browser, they can access the plans, the contact details for key personnel, and receive SMS text alerts and messages.
