Business Continuity Management Consulting for Companies: Staying Operational When It Really Matters
Cyberattacks, power outages, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or regulatory crises. No company is immune to unexpected disruptions. The key question is not whether a disruption will occur, but how quickly and effectively your company will respond to it. Companies that haven’t established a structured business continuity management system lose valuable time, reputation, and revenue during a crisis.
Our Business Continuity Management Consulting combines strategic BCM expertise with in-depth implementation experience in IT, organizational structure, and governance. From business impact analysis to the development of robust continuity plans and recovery strategies, all the way to their sustainable integration into your organization. Vendor-neutral, field-tested, and with a clear focus on regulatory requirements such as NIS 2, DORA, and KRITIS.
Business Continuity Management Consulting at a Glance
- Disruption is the norm: No company can completely prevent disruptions. The key capability is to keep critical processes running despite disruptions and to quickly regain full operational capacity.
- Regulatory requirements make BCM mandatory: NIS 2, DORA, the KRITIS Framework Act, BSI Standard 200-4, and ISO 22301 require companies to have verifiable, actively implemented business continuity management in place. Any company that still operates reactively today risks regulatory sanctions.
- Plans alone aren't enough: A business continuity plan is only as good as the organization behind it. Roles, responsibilities, tests, drills, and governance determine whether BCM will actually work in an emergency.
- Recovery is compromised without prioritization: Not every process is equally critical. A robust business impact analysis determines where BCM investments truly add value and where they are wasted.

NIS 2, DORA, and KRITIS: What Business Continuity Management Means from a Regulatory Perspective
Regulatory requirements
Regulatory requirements for business continuity management have increased dramatically in recent years. For many companies, BCM has thus evolved from a voluntary best practice to a mandatory requirement for maintaining profitability, efficiency, and value creation.
NIS 2
The NIS 2 Directive requires companies in Germany to adhere to higher IT security standards. These explicitly include requirements for business continuity management, backup management, disaster recovery, and crisis management. This applies not only to traditional KRITIS operators but also to a significantly broader group of organizations across industry, healthcare, digital services, logistics, and public administration.
DORA
The Digital Operational Resilience Act applies to the financial sector and imposes extensive requirements regarding risk management, resilience, incident reporting, and the management of third-party ICT service providers. Business continuity and disaster recovery are explicitly mandated and must be regularly tested and demonstrated.
KRITIS Umbrella Act
Operators of critical infrastructure are required to conduct business impact analyses, develop emergency plans, and demonstrate that they regularly test their business continuity management (BCM) measures.
ISO 22301 and BSI Standard 200-4
Both standards provide a structured framework for establishing, operating, and certifying a business continuity management system. We guide you through both standards and develop multi-compliance approaches that meet multiple regulatory requirements simultaneously.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Business Continuity Management Consulting
Business continuity management is an organization’s ability to maintain critical processes even during disruptions and to quickly resume normal operations after a disruption. It protects against operational, financial, and reputational damage and is a regulatory requirement for many organizations.
A business impact analysis identifies which processes are critical to the company, what the consequences of a failure would be, and how long a failure can be tolerated. It serves as the basis for all further BCM decisions and investments.
The effort involved depends on the size of the company, its level of maturity, the number of critical processes, and regulatory requirements. Following a structured initial consultation, you will receive a transparent, binding quote.
