Business Continuity and Exercise Readiness Check

The business continuity readiness check is a free self-assessment for continuity, risk and executive teams. In 12 questions it tests the business impact analysis, plans, exercising and governance behind an organisation’s ability to keep critical activities running through a disruption, and shows the priority gaps.

A plan that has never been exercised is an assumption, not a capability. The business continuity plan guide and the exercising and testing pillar explain what good looks like.

How it works

Answer each question Yes, Partly, No or Not sure, then select See my results. Each area is scored out of 100 per cent, with Partly counted as half. You will see an overall rating, a score for each area and your priority actions, and you can email yourself a branded PDF report to share with your executive or board. It takes about five minutes.

This self-assessment needs JavaScript. If it does not load, contact Agilient for a copy of the questions.

Frequently asked questions

What does the business continuity readiness check cover?
It asks 12 questions across the business impact analysis and recovery strategies, plans, exercising and governance, and scores each area to show where the program most needs work.
How often should a business continuity plan be exercised?
Most organisations aim to exercise their plan at least once a year, with the crisis or executive team taking part, and to build a multi-year program that increases in scope and complexity.
