What is the goal of the Continuity practice area under MBR?

The goal of the Continuity practice area under MBR (Managed Business Resilience) is to ensure sustained operations during major events. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining critical business functions and services despite disruptive occurrences such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or any significant operational interruptions.

Rather than just preparing to prevent incidents or creating training programs, the focus is on having a robust framework and strategies in place that allow the organization to continue its essential operations and recover effectively during challenging circumstances. This involves establishing continuity plans, recovery strategies, and ensuring that resources are available to cope with unforeseen events while minimizing impact on the organization’s ability to deliver products or services. Such preparedness is crucial for long-term organizational resilience and stability.

While preventing potential incidents is an important aspect of risk management, the specific aim of the Continuity practice area is broader, targeting the organization's ability to sustain operations under duress. Similarly, while training programs and budgeting are vital for organizational success, they do not directly align with the primary focus of operational continuity during major events.
