The SeCube BCM module is a standalone business continuity management software component designed to support the entire lifecycle of BCM activities. Supports the planning, maintenance, review, and testing of corporate resilience and recovery strategies.
The Business Continuity Management (BCM) module is designed to ensure that the company is prepared for risk events that, if they occur unexpectedly, could result in significant business losses; therefore, conscious planning and preparation for such events are fundamental to the company’s business operations.
The SeCube BCM module is designed to support the entire lifecycle of business continuity management within a unified system (in accordance with the ISO 22301 standard):
The SeCube software is capable of integrating and managing in a unified manner
The main focus of Business Continuity Planning is planning for the continuity of business or production processes, taking into account their resource dependencies. During business continuity planning, we can develop replacement and workaround solutions for the loss of resources supporting business or production processes (whether technological, data-related, human, or facility-related), and we can define alternative business or production processes. For alternative processes, we can define the actions required to implement them and the tasks necessary to return to normal operations once the emergency has passed.
The primary target group for BCP planning is typically the departments responsible for executing business and production processes.
The main focus of IT Service Continuity and Recovery Planning (IT DRP) is to plan for the recovery and continuity of the services, IT systems, and key resources used by business and production processes, taking into account the needs of the processes they support. The goal here is also to restore the operation of business processes, but the focus is always on ensuring the fastest possible emergency provision and restoration of the necessary resources, as well as service continuity.
The primary target group for service recovery (IT DRP) planning is typically the departments responsible for the resources serving business and production areas, as well as IT operations departments.
Recovery time objective values for resources can be evaluated and determined manually and/or calculations using the results of the business impact analysis (BIA function).
The recovery capability of the procedures defined in the BCM plans are compared and continuously monitored with the recovery time objectives, with audit ready reports.
A key feature of the SeCube BCM module is the detailed planning of BCM plans and ensuring they remain up to date, with delegable responsibilities and access control for a large number of users.
Key Capabilities and Business Benefits
Certain elements of BCM plans may rely on preparedness, business–as–usual, and standby actions and resilience controls to ensure that the plans function effectively during an emergency. The system supports and tracks these tasks with a comprehensive task management feature and provides status updates via email notifications.
Tests can be created for managed BCM plans; test activities can be planned and managed, and test reports can be generated. The content of the tests can be freely assembled from the plan’s elements, and actual execution times can be measured during execution. The system supports test tracking and the creation of audit-ready test reports.
In the event of an emergency, SeCube’s simulation engine facilitates rapid modeling and immediate access to relevant plans. It enables the quick development of ad-hoc recovery scenarios based on previous plan elements, effectively supporting executive decision-making.
What happens if the production SeCube system is unavailable? The entire project database can be exported as a single file and immediately launched in any backup environment (e.g., a Kürt SeCube partner system), in addition, Word exports of the plan may be available from time to time.
As a result of the work performed in the software, audit-ready documentation can be generated at the click of a button:
