What eFront ERM BCP is
eFront ERM BCP helps organizations prepare continuity plans and coordinate responses when business operations are disrupted. It supports identifying critical activities, defining crisis scenarios, and activating plans. Built-in Business Impact Analysis tools assess possible financial, legal, reputational, and human consequences of interruptions and calculate Maximum Allowable Downtime. Teams can document the human, IT, and logistical resources needed for recovery and model both reduced operations and a return to normal. During an incident, users can activate response plans, coordinate recovery, manage degraded operations, and track decisions and events in real time. A unified repository holds continuity plans, entities, contacts, suppliers, and services. Dashboards group activities by supplier, service, and criticality, and monitor key performance indicators. A shared team workspace supports procedures, coordinated action, and simulations. For ICT continuity, the product supports documenting critical activities, scenarios, and crisis measures, and testing plans for DORA Article 11 alignment. eFront ERM is modular; pricing is available on request.
