# BCM Software > Swiss GRC provides BCM software on the SwissGRC® Platform. Organizations manage business impact analysis, continuity plans, exercises and maturity reporting in one system, aligned with ISO 22301. - URL: https://swissgrc.com/en/bcm-software/ - Publisher: SwissGRC® - Published: 2023-02-07 - Last updated: 2026-10-07 ## Key facts - The BCM software of Swiss GRC covers business impact analysis, continuity and recovery plans, exercises and tests, integration with other GRC disciplines and reporting. - The business impact analysis records impact over defined time horizons, required resources and the MTPD, RTO and RPO per process. - Exercise findings become tracked improvement actions with clear ownership and a deadline. - BCM on the SwissGRC® Platform shares its basis with risk management, ICS, ISMS, TPRM and contract management, including shared master data for processes, systems and suppliers. - The solution is built on ISO 22301, ISO 22317, BSI Standard 200-4 and the concept of operational resilience. - The platform guides users through four phases: analyse, plan, exercise and improve. Business Continuity Management # Continuity plans on paper, or resilience when it counts? Map critical processes, set recovery objectives, test your plans and report maturity: Swiss GRC makes your BCM defensible. Aligned with ISO 22301.

The difference lies in how current and how connected they are. The common starting point ### Good plans, outdated foundations When the BIA, the plans and the exercise results live in documents and spreadsheets, they fall out of date between two review cycles. - BIA in spreadsheets, plans in separate documents - Dependencies on IT, sites and suppliers remain unclear - Exercise findings never make it back into the plans - Maturity only becomes visible during the audit With the SwissGRC® platform ### Recovery connected and evidenced Critical processes stay connected to resources, plans, exercises and actions. Every recovery commitment is evidenced at any time, not just asserted. - BIA, plans and exercises in one system - Dependencies on IT, sites and suppliers linked - Findings become tracked improvement actions - Integrated with risk management, ISMS and TPRM The SwissGRC® platform at a glance ## Your entire BCM, in one place Analyse, plan, exercise, connect and report. Click through the five views. Business Impact Analysis ### Critical processes and their dependencies Capture and assess critical functions and processes in a structured way: impact over time, required resources and **MTPD, RTO and RPO** per process. - Impact assessed along defined time horizons - Dependencies on IT, people and suppliers - Recovery objectives derived per process ![Business Impact Analysis in the SwissGRC platform](https://swissgrc.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/BCM_BIA-1024x846.png) Continuity and recovery plans ### Plans you can actually find when it counts Create plans directly in the platform or manage them centrally, including roles, immediate actions and escalation paths. **Always current and versioned**. - Plans structured in the solution or as a document - Roles, contacts and escalation paths recorded - Approval and versioning fully traceable ![Business continuity plans in the SwissGRC platform](https://swissgrc.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/BCM_BCP-1024x846.png) Exercises and tests ### Effectiveness proven in the scenario Plan, run and document exercises. Findings turn into **tracked improvement actions** with clear ownership and a deadline. - Exercise planning across the annual cycle - Results and findings fully documented - Actions derived directly from the exercise ![Exercises and tests in the SwissGRC platform](https://swissgrc.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/BCM_Exercises-1024x846.png) Integrated resilience ### BCM connected to ISMS, TPRM and ICS Shared master data for processes, systems and suppliers. A single disruption risk becomes **visible across every discipline**. - Shared basis for processes, assets and suppliers - Cross-divisional workflows - Operational resilience as one overall picture ![Integration of BCM with other GRC disciplines in the SwissGRC platform](https://swissgrc.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/BCM_Integration-1024x846.png) Reporting ### Maturity and gaps at a glance One clear picture for management and the board: **coverage, currency and open gaps** across the BCM programme. - Coverage of critical processes made visible - Currency of plans and exercises in view - Board-ready analyses ![BCM reporting dashboard in the SwissGRC platform](https://swissgrc.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/BCM_Reporting-1024x846.png) Built on **recognized methods and standards**, from the business impact analysis to evidenced recovery. ISO 22301 ISO 22317 BSI Standard 200-4 operational resilience How it works ## From the first process to a BCMS you actually live Business continuity is a cycle, not a project. The platform guides you through all four phases, at your own pace. 01 Analyse Capture critical functions, dependencies and recovery objectives in a structured BIA. 02 Plan Define strategies and plans per scenario, including roles, resources and escalation paths. 03 Exercise Test scenarios, document findings and derive improvement actions. 04 Improve Keep plans, objectives and dependencies current and raise maturity measurably. One step further Assess and quantify disruption and operational risk on our dedicated risk management page. [Explore risk management](https://swissgrc.com/en/risk-management-software/) Advantages and added value ## More resilience, less improvisation Comprehensive and simple at the same time. That drives adoption and makes resilience measurable. #### Visibility over critical processes Critical functions, processes and their dependencies captured and assessed systematically. #### Part of one connected GRC system BCM shares the same basis as risk management, ICS, ISMS, TPRM and contract management. #### Threats identified early Capture and monitor threats to your resilience, connected to your risk analyses. #### Plans that hold up under pressure Continuity and recovery plans that are current, findable and tested in the scenario. #### Higher maturity through standards Establish and operate a BCMS in line with ISO 22301: one consistent approach across the organization. #### Measurable maturity Coverage, currency and open gaps visible at any time and reportable up to the board.
