Businesses in today’s fast-moving, highly competitive global economy have become almost totally dependent on computer systems and information technology infrastructures. This dependency, which is used to create wealth, enhance productivity and gain competitive advantage, also carries with it the potential for total failure.
Any organisation that relies on IT and does not manage the risks associated with unforeseen interruptions is courting disaster.
ContinuitySA is uniquely positioned to help clients address these challenges through the provision of a all-inclusive portfolio of solutions and services that are provided through two primary operational divisions within the company – professional consultancy and IT and business recovery services.
Today’s business environment demands that organisations address the issue of business continuance in order to ensure survival after any disruptive event. Businesses today are required to adhere to various Business Continuity standards such as the UK Cadbury and Turnbull (preceding South Africa’s King II report) which UK BCM practitioners regard as the providers of impetus to BCM, the ISO IEC 17799, previously known as BS 7799, which is the most widely recognised security standard in the world and was developed by the International Standards Organisation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which is a USA legislation introduced following the collapse of Enron, Arthur Andersen and other notable corporate failures / scandals as well as the Basel Accord which was driven by financial institutions for risk control and became the world standard in the 1990s and applied by over 100 countries.
The Business Continuity Institute also published “Business Continuity Management: Good Practice Guidelines” in 2002 that has become the de-facto standard. The BCI was also instrumental in motivating the British Standards Institute to publish a formal British Standard on BCM – the BS25999-1
As part of our Africa Strategy, which is to continue to expand our business into Africa, ContinuitySA furthermore prides itself as a company that is dedicated to Corporate Social Investment. Corporate Social Investment is an important business priority and essential factor to the achievement of our overall business strategy. Our focus on Social Investment is on the positive transformation and upliftment of surrounding communities by supporting education, health and social development. Our investment in communities has been in the form of funding community projects, donating clothing as well as other essential items and supporting the initiatives of previously disadvantaged artists.
