Business Continuity Plan Tabletop Exercise
Future-proof your continuity plan through real-world scenarios
Business Continuity Tabletop Testing Exercises
No Business Continuity Management (BCM) plan can be considered fully reliable until it has been 3rd party tested. A series of robust and realistic exercises can help identify issues and any assumptions that need attention.
A Business Continuity Tabletop Testing Exercise (BCP TTX) is a guided, scenario-based discussion that brings your key decision-makers together to walk through how they would respond to a crisis. These exercises help identify and work through any problems in your existing plan and also serve as a reminder that these events can happen at any time, often rapidly and without warning.
Exercises can take many forms, including technical tests, desktop walk-throughs and full, live exercises. The key element to consider is the role of people and their strengths, including skills, knowledge, management and decision-making. ZRS Business Continuity specialists will collaborate with your team to develop the most impactful scenario and create the table-top test in accordance. We will execute the test with your team and then do a debrief with you to identify any area to make your plan more resilient. This information can be used to get optimum insurance placement as well as provide customer confidence.
This practical test helps you:
- Identify weaknesses or gaps in your current Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
- Clarify roles and responsibilities across your team
- Improve decision-making and communication under pressure
- Build confidence with customers and insurers
