Business Resilience

Need more information about managing your business risks?

You can’t eliminate the possibility of business disruptions – but you can prepare for them. Whether the cause is a storm, a cyberattack or another unexpected event, a sudden disruption could affect your organization at any time. To grow and thrive in an uncertain risk environment, your business needs preparation to be able to absorb, adapt and be resilient to disruptive events. What does this mean for your organization? It goes beyond just having documented strategies and plans. Business resiliency is an ongoing process that helps you prepare for all types of disruptions, respond when one occurs and improve after each incident.

Business Resilience Report

Today’s business leaders must continually examine risks, prepare for potential disruptions and adapt to operations to be resilient to wide-ranging challenges. CNA’s Strategic Business Resilience report was created to help leaders build a resilient culture and develop a sustained ability to endure disruptive events.

PREPARE
  • Identify and mitigate risks
  • Develop all-hazard strategies and plans for disruptions
  • Exercise plans to validate procedures and train response teams

 

It can be useful to document a response plan for every scenario your business might face. But the truth is, when a disruption occurs there may not be time to find the document, read it and apply it to the situation at hand. That’s why CNA encourages all-hazards planning and exercises, enabling your organization to respond quickly to any incident you may face. Regardless of the cause of the disruption and the size of response required, you’ll be prepared to organize your response, recover affected operations and restart your business as smoothly as possible.

Every business – and every business interruption – is unique. But no matter what specific disruption affects your organization, you’ll be in a much better position if you’ve prepared in advance. That means having pre-planned emergency response to protect your workforce, business recovery and restart steps for vital time-sensitive processes, and business recovery strategies for your most vital assets. With good preparation, you’ll have less stress, shorter response times and a faster, easier path to get your business back to its customary operations.
