Which standards is GRC Vantage's BCM module aligned to?

Plan templates, BIA workflows and exercise records are aligned to ISO 22301:2019 and pre-mapped to sector frameworks including SAMA BCM Framework, SAMA CSF, NCA ECC and ISO 27001. Auditors can drill from any control to the underlying evidence in one click.

Can we host the platform inside Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Saudi data residency via hosting partners in Riyadh and Dammam, and on-premise deployment for organisations subject to data sovereignty controls.

Is the platform usable outside banking — government, healthcare, energy, telco?

Yes. The BCM module is sector-agnostic. Templates and risk libraries cover financial services, government, healthcare, energy and utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing and critical national infrastructure.

How long does a typical BIA take to set up?

Most organisations complete a first-pass BIA across 30–50 critical business services within four to six weeks using our pre-built templates and the platform's dependency mapper.

Does the BCM module integrate with our risk register?

Yes. BIAs, dependencies and recovery gaps flow directly into the Risk Management module, so resilience risks are scored and treated alongside cyber and operational risks.

Can we run tabletop exercises inside the platform?

Yes. Schedule scenario-based exercises, assign participants, run them inline, capture observations and convert findings into corrective actions automatically.

Resilience that
survives a real disruption.

Run BIAs, build ISO 22301-aligned recovery plans and prove resilience to any regulator — without spreadsheets, version chaos or untested tabletops.

The reality in Saudi BCM programmes

Spreadsheet BCM doesn't survive a real disruption.

53%

Of Saudi banks have a BCM programme that has not been tested against a real cyber-recovery scenario in the last 18 months.

1 in 3

BIAs are out of date the moment they are signed off because they live in standalone Word docs no one re-opens.

Hours, not weeks

What activating a documented BCP should take. Spreadsheet-based programmes routinely take days to find the right plan.

Capabilities

The full BCM lifecycle, in one place

Six disciplines that turn a paper plan into a tested capability.

Business Impact Analysis

Quantify operational, financial and regulatory impact across business services. Map dependencies, RTO and RPO to every critical process — once, then maintain it forever.

Recovery plans that actually work

Plan templates aligned to ISO 22301. Assign owners, RACI, escalation paths and response runbooks — version-controlled inside the platform.

Dependency mapping

Visualise the chain between business services, applications, vendors, people and facilities. Spot single points of failure before regulators or incidents do.

Incident & crisis response

Activate response plans the moment an incident is declared. Notify response teams, log decisions, keep an auditable timeline for regulator and board reporting.

Tabletop exercises & testing

Schedule and run plan tests. Capture lessons learned, raise corrective actions and feed them back into the next BIA cycle automatically.

Resilience dashboards

Real-time view of plan coverage, BIA status, exercise completion and outstanding gaps — board-ready and exportable for any regulator submission.

BCM lifecycle · ISO 22301

From governance to tested capability — year on year.

01Govern

Board-approved BCM policy, named owner, defined scope.

02Analyse

BIA across every critical process, with RTO / RPO and dependencies.

03Plan

BCP, IT DRP, Crisis Management Plan — version-controlled, owned, exercised.

04Test

Tabletop, walkthrough, technical recovery, full simulation.

05Improve

Lessons learned feed the next BIA, plan and risk register. Year-on-year improvement.

For the BCM lead

A continuity programme defensible to SAMA, the Board and any auditor.

GRC Vantage gives the BCM function a connected lifecycle — every BIA linked to recovery plans, every plan linked to tested exercises, every exercise linked to corrective actions. One source of truth, year-on-year improvement visible to the Board.

BIA updated continuously, not annually-then-forgotten
Recovery plans owned, version-controlled and rehearsed
Cyber-BCM scenarios (ransomware, wiper) treated as first-class
Regulator submission packs generated from live data, not authored by hand

4–6 wk

Typical time for a first-pass BIA across 30–50 critical business services using the pre-built templates and dependency mapper.

2 h

Plan activation from incident declared to response team mobilised — versus days for paper-based programmes.
