BCM is the act of anticipating incidents which could affect mission critical functions and processes of an organisation and ensuring that it prevents and responds to any incident in a planned and rehearsed manner.

When it comes to BCM, many companies are adopting the Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) approach to bring the business back to normal after incident occurrences. The problem with this approach is that as indicated from the graph, DRP tends to focus mainly on Risks that are less probable but with a high consequence. Risks which reside in the other quadrants are often neglected.

On the contrary, Risk Shield® uses the Business Continuity Planning (BCP) approach to capture risks in all quadrants before filtering the significant ones for further assessments.

More importantly, by leveraging from the instant Bow Tie Diagram generation capability, Risk Shield®'s adaptation to the BCP approach allows managers to implement pre-incident prevention strategies more easily, in addition to the traditional post-incident continuity planning.
