BCP Health Check (internal audit)

This consultancy service is used as ‘pre-audit’ to get the organisation ready for annual/APRA audits, or as a general check-up on its BCP/DR/ITSCM processes. The Health Check is developed in accordance with APRA, British Standard BS25999, ISO/PAS 22399, DS4 (COBIT) and Australian Standard HB221.

A Health Check report is provided after assessment.

In order to provide you with assistance in getting ready for internal/external BCP audits, Business As Usual also launches in 2009 a new 1-day workshop to assist with your organisation’s audit preparation and determine the gaps in your BCP.
