Business continuity

Business continuity is the process that an organisation puts into place to ensure that essential activities can continue during unforeseen emergencies and get back to a normal level of operation as quickly as possible.

Business continuity planning is considerably more widespread in larger organisations, with a serious gap in small to medium sized enterprises. Unfortunately it is the smaller organisations who struggle to recover and continue trading after major incidents, so it is those who can really benefit from the information and advice offered by the Suffolk Joint Emergency Planning Unit.

You will find more information about business continuity on the Suffolk Resilience website, including a step-by-step guide to business continuity to help you put in place the processes to protect your business and links to useful websites.
