Sentryx’ Business Continuity KickStart (BCKS) Services are on-site, cost-effective, and time-saving solutions that enable you to develop an effective plan right from the start. If you are just getting started, or would like to enhance or validate your program, our BCKS solutions are an excellent first step. By combining professional and expert business continuity training and mentoring services with consulting services, we deliver unique and powerful knowledge and guidance oriented solutions. These solutions address corporate-wide business continuity requirements and build the knowledge and skills of your team to ensure long term success. Through these solutions, organizations can start their business continuity program with confidence; accelerate progress and quickly achieve their program objectives; improve the quality of their program; and validate their program’s accuracy, completeness, and effectiveness.
Sentryx’ BCKS solutions include two essential elements, namely a training phase and a consulting phase:

- Training Phase: On-site instructor-led business continuity training session geared towards developing an organization’s business continuity knowledge and skills.
- Consulting Phase: On-site consulting engagement geared towards developing an effective, reliable, and sound business continuity plan and program. Each consulting phase is coupled with mentoring session which provides guidance and expert level assistance.
Business Continuity Plan Development Timeline
A BCKS solution follows a recommended timeline of training, assessment and analysis, and design and development activities. The timeline divides a plan development project into three high-level phases: Phase 1 Training, Phase 2 Assessment and Analysis, and Phase 3 Design and Development. During each phase, our team of experts will complete appropriate activities and provide guidance for the phase. Phase 2 and 3 includes mentoring services.

Phase 1: Training Phase – A BCKS training phase that includes:
- On-site Instructor-led Training - Our team conducts instructor-led business continuity training at your offices and facilities. This training is based on your company’s training objectives and serves as both a business continuity skills development, and a coaching and mentoring session.
For a 5-day training phase, we provide the 5-day Business Continuity Planning and Management course. This course is an all-in-one practical and comprehensive business continuity plan development and program management course. It is designed to teach both principles of Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and detailed methods to develop, test, and maintain a business continuity plan. For more information on this course, please see http://www.sentryx.com/business+continuity+workshops.htm.
For a 3-day training phase, we provide a customized course.
Phase 2: Assessment and Analysis Phase – A BCKS consulting phase that includes:
- BC Plan Assessment - Our team conducts a plan assessment and delivers a report that identifies any gaps and weaknesses in your plan, and formulates recommendations for next steps.
- BC Program Assessment - Our team conducts an assessment of your company’s business continuity planning and management processes and delivers a report that identifies any gaps and weaknesses, and formulates recommendations for next steps.
- Business Impact Analysis - Our team conducts a business impact analysis and delivers a BIA report that identifies areas of business that are mission-critical, the extent of potential financial and operational impact of business disruption, recovery time requirements, and resources and services required for recovery.
- Risk Analysis - Our team conducts a risk analysis to identify threats, continuity risks, and exposures and delivers a risk assessment report containing recommendations to control the business disruption risks.
Phase 3: Design and Development Phase – A BCKS consulting phase that includes:
- Business Continuity Strategy Formulation - Our team formulates a Business Continuity Strategy using input from the BIA. A report is delivered that identifies available and viable options and solutions for recovering critical IT and non-IT business processes, resources, and services, and outlines recommendations that help senior management determine the level of investment, technology, protection, services, and support required.
- Business Continuity Plan Development – Our team develops a business continuity plan document containing procedures and guidelines needed to recover and restore damaged mission-critical business processes, company resources and services, and information technology infrastructure including data, applications, and voice and data services.
Phases 2 and 3 include a mentoring service.
