The better the quality of data, the better will be the output. The dark side of this era is the vulnerability that lies with data sharing, data analytics, and data management. Security breaches, data theft, data leaks, and even physical disasters can put data--business process--at risk easily. To manage this ordeal, Business Continuity Management (BCM) ascertains that the aftermath of any theoretical events, will not create even the slightest disruption to business activities. Like the Starfleet Protocol-Emergency procedure Alpha 2, BCM will ensure the smooth running of the organization's activities, even after being subjected to any disastrous events. It is easier for any company to recover if a carefully thought-out business continuity plan is already implemented in alignment with its security protocols. To make sure the BCM plan is airtight; it should be clear, comprehensive, and rigorously tested. Not only does a sound BCM plan maintain seamless functioning of workflows during and after an unforeseen event, but it will also reduce costs and impact of the disruption. BCM service providers offer their customers the capacity to swiftly recover operations after interruptions, comply with regulatory or legal requirements, insure against the otherwise unacceptable risks, and instill customer confidence and trust within the clientele. This edition of CIO Applications, observes such service providers who have dedicated their time to strengthen client's businesses and prolong the latters' lifecycles. We hope that the experiences and insights shared by subject matter experts in the sector help the readers to protect their workflows considerably. Let us know your thoughts.
