Sustain BCM

BCM is not a static or point-in-time solution. In order to ensure that it is current, it will be necessary to implement an on-going maintenance regime and internal communication. BCM cannot be effective if staff are unaware of the existence of plans or if those with roles to play are unsure of their roles, of what is expected of them and where to find information. This requires the training of BCM staff and awareness by all.

It is important that strict change control and maintenance regimes are in place and that the identified updating tasks are performed regularly and in a regulated manner.
