# Business Continuity Program Review and Audit > Comprehensive assessment of existing business continuity programmes to identify gaps, validate effectiveness, and provide actionable improvement roadmaps aligned with best practice and ISO standards. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-continuity-program-review-and-audit* A Business Continuity Program Review and Audit is a health check for your organisation's continuity arrangements. Fixinc reviews your [Business Continuity Plans](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-continuity-plan.md), training logs, [Business Impact Analyses](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-impact-analysis.md), and supplier risks, then compares them against best practice and the realities of your operating environment. The review process works with your risk team if you have one, or fills the gap if you do not. The outcome is a clear view of where things stand, what is working, and what needs attention, along with a roadmap to address identified issues. Fixinc's audits go beyond policy checklists. Reviews are led by experienced practitioners who understand what good looks like and what is practical to implement. The process uses [threat intelligence](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/threat-intelligence-and-analysis.md), supplier review tools, and deep contextual understanding to identify real gaps rather than theoretical ones. Clients receive clarity, confidence, and a plan that delivers measurable improvement rather than simply meeting compliance requirements. ## Delivery Methodology Fixinc delivers Business Continuity Program Review and Audit through a four-step approach: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed programme 2. **Do**: Business Continuity Program Review and Audit is rolled out smoothly at your organisation 3. **Check**: Your Business Continuity Program Review and Audit is draft until validated, with findings confirmed and tested 4. **Act**: Your team and Fixinc will be ready when your Business Continuity Program Review and Audit activates in real-life situations ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation - A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team to schedule a convenient time for discussion over phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person - 30-45 minute consultation to discuss objectives with prepared questions and opportunity for Q&A - Proposal and quote delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work - One week later, proposal discussion takes place, followed by final quote delivery within 10 minutes - Proposals not signed within 5 weeks are assumed to be not the right time ### Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check**: All Business Continuity Program Review and Audit engagements start with a deep review of what is already in place.
