Evaluate your organizational resilience by baselining the maturity of your BC program. The Business Continuity Maturity Model® assists you to answer the following key questions often raised by company management when asked to support a BC planning initiative: 

Where are we now?

What is the target we’re shooting for?

What are the immediate next actions we do next?

Through the utilization of a detailed questionnaire, licensed BC professionals will evaluate your company’s Business Continuity program. Information is collected through a series of interviews, and responses are entered into a secure survey. An objective scorecard is produced indicating the level of your company’s BC readiness in several key areas of evaluation, the BCMM® Corporate Competencies.
