Business Continuity as a Service
Our Business Continuity as a Service (BCaaS) is proven to build executable programs in a timely, cost-effective, and efficient manner.
Our BCaaS addresses many of the challenges facing BCM programs today:
- Limited budget and people for a properly resourced BCM Program.
- Demand for experienced staff to manage your BCM program.
- Lack of experienced subject matter experts.
- Compliance with customer, regulatory or audit requirements.
- Need for automated tools for BCM planning.
- Need to justify the BCM program to senior management.
Is Your Organization Suited for MHA’s BCaaS?
Our BCaaS is well suited for most companies, especially those that:
- Lack direction about what BCM means for the organization.
- Need seasoned resources to jump start BCM efforts.
- Lack a BCM program or have a program that is limited or outdated.
- Expect a BCM program to be built the right way the first time.
- Don’t want to make BCM a core competency or hire additional staff.
The MHA BCaaS Timeline
Our BCaaS approach focuses on building a sustainable program that can take between one to three years, depending on organizational size and demands. We strive to build a sound foundation for your program, with the majority of the heavy lifting completed upfront and quickly progressing to a maintenance and continuous improvement stage that your organization can take control of, if so desired.

Is MHA BCaaS a Good Investment?
BCaaS yields a significant return on investment by building a sound program foundation from the start, eliminating the errors, missteps, and confusion often encountered in developing a BCM program.
The financial investment for BCaaS varies based on organizational size and need, but the investment per year is typically less than the fully loaded cost to employ a full-time senior-level BCM professional.
Included in the cost of the annual BCaaS is access to one or more of MHA’s BCM experts, each with 15 years or more of BCM experience, as required to meet your needs.
