BDA Global performs risk assessments to determine where there are emergency preparedness risks to organizations. We conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses, examining potential impacts to personnel, facilities, technology, the surrounding community, and operational outcomes.

BDA Global uses its Business Impact Analysis (BIA) / Business Process Analysis (BPA) software tool CONTINUUM to conduct its clients’ BIA/BPAs. The BIA/BPA process is used to gather critical data on organizational functions, processes, resources, essential records, technologies, and internal and external dependencies, and provides the core data that is needed to develop comprehensive Continuity of Operations / Business Continuity Plans. CONTINUUM is a survey tool that facilitates the collection, aggregation, and analysis of this key organizational data.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plans are developed in compliance with the framework(s) outlined in Federal Continuity Directives 1 and 2 and the Continuity Guidance Circular, as appropriate. We also develop Business Continuity Plans for a broad range of organizations, including crisis management, emergency response, notification and communications strategies, and detailed continuity actions
