DRK’s approach to achieve the desired maturity level in organizations consists of several steps which cover the entire life cycle of BCM. The ultimate aim is to ensure the resilience of your organization through forming a holistic framework that is capable of continuing the critical activities within an acceptable timeframe following a business disruption.

  • Defining critical requirements.

    DRK examines the present capability to overcome the negative impacts and describes all kinds of necessary resources for continuity crucial business functions within an accepted time frame.

    43% of companies never reopen after a disaster and 29% more close within three years.

  • Forming the BCM strategy.

    DRK identifies various mitigation alternatives on the cost-effectiveness basis. Based on their analysis and in line with the particular needs of the organization, DRK offers viable BCM strategies for the continuity of business processes.
