Business Continuity
Plan
Business Continuity
plan statistics are very interesting. We deal with these issues
every day, but also daily I am still surprised to see the statistics
that come out of organizations like Pinkerton security. Lets look at
what the business sees as the top threats to
them.
Business Continuity
plan statistics – top threats
In six out of the past
seven years, workplace violence has topped the list of concerns.
However, business continuity interruption or continuity planning has
been placed as the second greatest threat perceived by businesses
for four out of the past five years.
A survey conducted by
Compass shows that 98% of an undisclosed number of FTSE 100 firms
had a business continuity plan in place, only just over one-third of
those companies that had suffered an IT disaster over the last five
years (58% of all firms surveyed) had used the measures that they
had put in place in the business continuity plan to solve the
problem.
Even those that had
used the processes put in place as part of the business continuity
plan failed to adequately protect themselves, with 71% of
respondents reporting that their business was still
impacted.

plan statistics – update!
Compounding the
problems, Compass reports that even those companies with plans in
place were failing to review those plans on a regular basis -
meaning that new potential areas of disaster were often not
included.
