The software is available in complete form entirely FREE from the launch site https://robust.riscauthority.co.uk/ together with all supporting documentation and a significant portion of relevant parts of the prestigious RISCAuthority library.
The aim of the ROBUST initiative is to produce a software package and distribution process that will encourage the uptake of Business Continuity measures in principally the SME commercial sector that currently give little or no time to protecting the resilience of their business.
Dr James Glockling, Technical Director of the FPA and Director of RISCAuthority says “Whilst there is a great deal out there to make everyone aware of the need and benefits of undertaking Business Continuity Planning there is little in place to help those considering it take the next step without significant commitment of cost and effort”.
The production of the Business Continuity Plan is only one part of the Business Continuity Management System but its production does represent a valuable milestone in addressing business resilience. It is the intention that using the ROBUST tool will assist in Business Continuity Management being engrained within day to day company procedures.
Douglas Barnett, AXA’s Head of Customer Risk Management, who has been closely involved with the development of ROBUST says “The launch of the ROBUST Business Continuity tool is a commitment by the major UK insurers to business in the UK by, for the first time, delivering a free-to-download product for all business that has been developed by industry experts. Business Continuity planning has for too long been seen as too complicated or too expensive for business to undertake – the new ROBUST tool will resolve many of the concerns of the business community”.
The intention is to develop ROBUST annually under the RISCAuthority scheme and continue to deliver it and the supporting documents ENTIRELY FREE to where it is needed most with the grateful support of RISCAuthority members.
