Risk Management, Business Continuity Management, and Crisis Management serve as essential preparations for emergencies.

In today's dynamic environment, regulatory requirements and legal obligations are increasing, necessitating the development of strategies to protect critical infrastructures. More than ever, a well-adapted risk and business continuity management system is essential.

Various threats, such as cybercrime, espionage, legal compliance, data protection, climate-related events, dependency on critical suppliers, digitalisation, and emerging technologies, require a BCM strategy that addresses these challenges and delivers suitable solutions.

We offer a risk and crisis management software solution used by major companies in the energy, healthcare, and financial sectors.

We have developed a comprehensive approach to business continuity management that incorporates the following BCM principles:

• The continuation of critical activities must be ensured even during a crisis, at least to allow for a regulated emergency operation. A swift recovery of activities must be guaranteed.
• The protection of information (integrity, confidentiality, availability) must be ensured.
• The protection of facilities, equipment, and organisational infrastructure must be guaranteed.
• The organisation's reputation and positive public image must not be significantly affected.

Our methodology is based on the following standards:

• Business Impact Analysis – ISO 22317
• Risk Analysis – ISO 31000
• Business Continuity Strategy – ISO 22331
• Crisis Management – ISO 22332 / 22361
• Exercise Planning – ISO 22398

Argest provides its services in collaboration with the Austrian consultancy BC Consulting GmbH.
