Horizonscan Ltd.

We have a strategic partnership with

Crisis Simulation Exercise

Horizonscan’s award-winning Crisis Simulation Exercise (CSE) tests an organization’s ability to respond to a crisis event through a tabletop exercise. Through the CSE, we will review your current documentation, examine the competency of your Crisis Command Team, and produce a follow-up improvement report with key recommendations. Our exercises are delivered by coaches with decades of operational and technical experience in Business Continuity, Crisis Management, and Emergency Response. We have delivered over 400 of these exercises around the world in different markets, different industries, and for businesses both large and small. This service is ideal for a business that already has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place and is looking to have it validated.

Readiness Assessment

The Readiness Assessment provides a full review of the current state of resilience for a business. The assessment is based upon international best practice and guidelines, including ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 22316 (Organizational Resilience) and BS 11200 (Crisis Management).The assessment looks at current documentation and internal processes, as well as awareness and competency of staff. At the end of the assessment, the business will be provided with a report that provides recommendations and actions for improvement. The Readiness Assessment also includes an overall score which is industry benchmarked. This service is ideal for a business that is trying to understand how resilient they currently are and what investment would be needed to take them to the next level.

Business Continuity Plan (BCP) Development

For a business looking to update an existing BCP, or develop one from scratch, Horizonscan can provide this service. Horizonscan has worked companies around the world and in different industries to develop and update their BCPs. Horizonscan’s consultants will provide support throughout the development of the BCP, including writing sections, reviewing the document and answering questions. At the end of this process, a business will have a BCP in place that is linked directly into how they operate. To close out the BCP development, we will train all the relevant staff on the BCP and then provide a workshop to validate the contents. This service is ideal for a business that needs to have a plan to reduce disruption to their operations.

Business Continuity Maintenance

Horizonscan’s Business Continuity Maintenance is an ongoing service where we act as your outsourced Business Continuity department. As part of this service, we will support you in developing the required documentations and plans, we will train all staff to an agreed level and conduct the annual test of the BCP through table-top exercises. Our Business Continuity Maintenance clients will have access to all of our training and consultancy services. Our schedule of work will be flexible to meet your changing needs, including adapting any planned work to emerging risks. A project team of consultants will be allocated to you as your primary support, but you will also have access to our wider team’s skills and specialist areas. This service is ideal for a business who does not have or does not require an in-house Business Continuity team but requires ongoing Business Continuity support from an externally sourced consultancy team.
