Excellent solution
Prepared for crises with increased resilience: future-proof business continuity management with the Athereon GRC platform.
Understand dependencies, identify risks
Systematically identify and describe your business-critical processes and determine your time-critical processes, as well as their required dependencies on other assets, using our integrated business impact analysis (BIA). Determine downtime and financial losses to make informed decisions for your business continuity planning, identify risks, and exploit optimization opportunities. Visualize these dependencies to comply with all relevant regulations and standards.
Accelerate recovery through effective plans
Define emergency teams, establish exercise scenarios and responsibilities, and document concrete instructions. The integrated smart workflow builder allows you to plan precise recovery tasks for the organization and suppliers and prepare them for emergencies, so they can be triggered in a structured and automated manner at any time. The module supports you in creating, updating, and distributing emergency plans. The result: All relevant employees can act quickly and efficiently in an emergency.
Organizational resilience through crisis management and exercises
Athereon BCM supports you not only in planning and executing emergency drills, but also in managing real crises. In the event of a drill or emergency, you and your teams are automatically notified via SMS and e-mail, allowing you to immediately activate your stored emergency plans. The plans guide the emergency teams step by step through your recovery tasks, ensuring a structured approach. Ad hoc tasks can also be integrated at any time to ensure flexible response to unexpected situations. Document the emergency management/drill afterwards and evaluate its effectiveness to continuously improve your crisis response.

Business Continuity Management (BCM) deals with the resilience of organizations.
A BCM is necessary to maintain operational capability even in crises. Regardless of size or industry, any company can be affected by unexpected events that could disrupt business operations—such as natural disasters, technical malfunctions, cyberattacks, or pandemic-related outages. Therefore, all companies that want to ensure they can continue operating even in difficult times need a BCM.
A BCM is therefore not only useful for many companies, but is often also a regulatory requirement in safety-critical sectors and industries. Stricter regulations such as DORA, NIS2, or new ISMS generations require the implementation and operation of a BCM, which is regularly monitored by external audit bodies.
A BCM must be well-structured and documented, clearly defining how the organization responds to crises and emergencies and ensures its operational capability. It must be regularly reviewed, practiced, and adapted to new threats or changes within the company. The latest generation of ISMS standards, such as VDA TISAX® 6.1 or ISO 27001:2024, have made BCM even more relevant. The ISO 22301 and BSI 200-4 standards provide excellent international templates for developing a BCM.
The key components of reliable business continuity management include a documented BCM policy, a business impact analysis (BIA), risk management and assessment, contingency plans and recovery strategies, training and awareness strategies, testing and exercises, and ensuring continuous improvement. With an Athereon GRC solution, all of these elements are configurable and accessible on a single platform.
A BCM certification is formal proof that a company has successfully implemented a BCM system and is operating it according to recognized standards, such as ISO 22301. Through this certification, an independent certification body confirms that the company's BCM meets the requirements of the standard and functions effectively .
BCM certification helps companies gain the trust of customers, partners, and authorities by demonstrating that they have set up their business processes with their business-critical risks in mind. It also ensures that the company can respond to incidents in a structured manner and continuously improve as an organization.
