Although pandemics occur infrequently, being adequately prepared for an outbreak should be an essential component of every organisation’s risk management strategy. Agilient assists organisations with their pandemic planning in the key areas of Emergency Management, Crisis Management and Business Continuity Planning. Organisations that lack a formal enterprise protective security strategy more often than not make intuitive decisions rather than informed ones. Thus they spend more than they should on strategies that don’t work and routinely fail to identify potentially serious security threats, vulnerabilities and risks within their organisation.
