| Consider this – you have invested in new premises, you have a full order book for the next 18 months, you have a successful marketing campaign that sees your name on the tip of everyone’s tongue and then BANG – it’s all over. Not necessarily Bang!, it’s a terrorist attack (although it’s no secret that the UK is under a sustained and real threat), it might be Bang! – a gas explosion, or Bang! The power sparks as the premises floods due to freak weather conditions. To be honest, it could be lots of things that cause the disruption, but the critical question now is “how quickly can I recover and continue trading?” Darkstorm Integrated Risk Management can help you consider all of the potential risks to your business and develop effective ways to ensure that down time is reduced to the shortest possible.If you already have a Business Continuity Plan, or an Incident Management Plan then we can work with you to test that plan. If you don’t yet have a Plan then we can work with you to put a Plan together – it doesn’t cost as much as you think. It’s no good trying to re-deploy your staff with a contact list that is 12 months out of date, or to boot up the secondary server with last months (now redundant) passwords. The Emergency Services deal with Crisis all day long in a thoroughly slick and professional manner – that’s why they’re so good – they practice it day in and day out. Darkstorm Integrated Risk Management recognise that the time to smooth out any wrinkles is during, or just after, a Test Exercise. You do not want to be writing a Press Release as the flood waters rise, at least not from scratch. We can help you develop a portfolio of the most common scenarios likely to affect your business and put in place Action Plans, Recovery Procedures and Media Statements that will form the foundation of your business recovery process.We offer a Positioning Audit to see if your existing plan is still relevant (and understood by those with key roles) and whether if tested – it works! We can advise you on Brand Protection, Staff Welfare and Incident Management.We run test days – either full or half day desktop simulations, Virtual Exercises or full scale incident staging over one or more days.
