# Digital Business Continuity Plans > Cloud-based business continuity planning software that replaces static PDF documents with live, role-specific workflows integrated with business impact analysis data for real-time response activation. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/technology/business-continuity-plans* Digital Business Continuity Plans is a platform designed to simplify and automate business continuity planning. The software maintains BCP relevance through dynamic updates synchronised with live business impact analysis data. ## Platform Purpose Traditional business continuity plans are often too lengthy, static, and rarely used during actual disruptions. This software addresses these limitations by providing concise, role-specific plans that teams can actively use during incidents. The platform serves multiple stakeholders including response teams, executives, and compliance leads through formats designed for practical application during disruptions. ## Core Functionality ### Build Plans for Practical Use The software enables development of concise, role-specific business continuity plans. The format is designed to be easy to follow, update, and action during disruptions. ### Connected to Risk Data The platform links directly to Business Impact Analysis data, synchronising dependencies, priorities, and critical contacts automatically. This eliminates manual updates and reduces the risk of outdated plan versions. - [Business Impact Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-impact-analysis.md): Foundational analysis that feeds into BCP development ### Assurance and Activation Version history, ownership, and validation timelines are tracked in real time. This supports audit readiness for: - ISO 22301:2019 certification requirements - CPS 230 compliance obligations - Board review and governance reporting When disruption occurs, users can activate live plans, track tasks, and brief leadership through single-click actions. ## Platform Features ### Live Dashboard Visibility Dashboards display plan status, ownership assignments, and critical risks in consolidated views. Data remains synchronised and audit-ready at all times. ### Role and Contact Mapping The platform enables linking of contacts, roles, and responsibilities so stakeholders understand their position within plans and required actions during incidents. ### Customisable Templates Organisations start with proven templates and tailor sections to match their structure, terminology, and compliance requirements. ## Technology Development - **Practitioner-led design**: Tools designed by resilience professionals with field experience - **Best practice alignment**: Solutions align to current standards in business continuity, crisis management, and ITDR - **Global development team**: Engineers operate across New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Germany, and the United Kingdom - **Monthly updates**: Continuous enhancements based on client requirements and evolving threat landscapes ## Access and Implementation Fixinc does not offer instant subscriptions to Digital Business Continuity Plans. Without sufficient resilience maturity, the tool may not deliver expected value. Implementation begins with a discovery call and tailored demonstration to assess organisational fit. In some cases, a 30-day access period is available to explore the platform before commitment. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I know if our team is ready to go digital?** If current BCPs are rarely used or teams lack confidence navigating them, this tool may be appropriate. A demonstration can clarify how it fits into operations or whether a health check should precede implementation. **Who in our organisation would use this tool?** While resilience or business continuity leads typically manage the platform, it is designed for operational teams, wardens, crisis communications staff, and executives who require fast, accurate information during disruptions. **Can it integrate with existing systems?** The tool supports API integrations connecting with HR, ITSM, or communications platforms to maintain synchronisation and reduce duplicate work. **What is a digital business continuity plan?** A digital BCP is a cloud-based version of organisational continuity frameworks including contact details, critical processes, recovery strategies, and response actions accessible from any device. **How is this different from a regular BCP document?** Traditional BCPs are often static and outdated. This platform updates automatically based on BIA or system changes, maintains accountability, and is designed for practical use during actual scenarios. ## Related Resources - [Business Continuity Plan Development](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-continuity-plan.md): Advisory services for BCP development - [Business Impact Analysis Software](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis.md): Digital BIA tool that integrates with BCP platform - [F24 Crisis Management Platform](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/f24.md): Crisis management platform used by over 3,000 organisations globally - [ISO 22301 Accreditation Services](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/iso22301.md): Certification support services - [CPS 230 Compliance](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/cps230.md): Australian prudential standard compliance services --- **View this page online:** https://www.fixinc.io/technology/business-continuity-plans For program inquiries: [Contact Fixinc](https://www.fixinc.io/contact) | info@fixinc.org | +64 800 349 462
