Hi, I'm Alex. To start — what does the business do, and roughly how many people work there?
We're a logistics firm, about 40 staff.

Good to know. If your main systems went down for a full day tomorrow, do you have anything written down about what the business would actually do?

Who this is for

Business continuity becomes urgent at specific moments. If any of these apply, you need to know your position.

A client or insurer has asked

Enterprise clients, cyber insurance renewals, and certifications like CE+ increasingly expect evidence of a continuity plan. Know what you actually have before they ask.

You have had a close call

An outage, a key supplier failure, a member of staff being suddenly unavailable — a near miss is usually the moment a business realises it never wrote anything down.

You are growing fast

The more the business depends on, the more it stands to lose if one part fails. Know your critical dependencies before a disruption finds them for you.

A clear picture across 5 continuity areas

Every free assessment covers the areas that matter most for keeping your business running through a disruption. The portal's Continuity Builder goes a level deeper into each one — a Business Impact Analysis, Recovery Objectives, technical Plans, and a Testing programme, each feeding back into a real Business Continuity Policy.

1

Plan Existence & Ownership

Whether a written continuity plan actually exists, who owns it, and whether anyone could find and use it during a real disruption.

2

Critical Functions & Impact

What the business genuinely could not operate without, and how quickly the impact would become serious if it stopped.

3

Recovery Objectives

How fast critical systems and processes need to be back up, explained in plain business terms — not technical jargon.

4

Testing & Response Readiness

Whether the plan has ever been tested, and whether people would know what to do in the first hour of a disruption.

5

Backup & Continuity Arrangements

Whether backups, alternative suppliers, and fallback arrangements are in place — and known to actually work.

Your privacy, clearly explained

We believe you should know exactly how your information is handled before you start.

Keep the chat about your business

Alex asks about your business operations and continuity arrangements — not about individuals. Please avoid sharing personal data such as staff names or customer information during the assessment.

Your email is handled separately

At the end of the assessment you will be asked for your name and email address to deliver your report. This information is stored securely and is never processed by AI.

Your data is never used to train AI

Fortify uses the Anthropic Claude API to power assessments. Anthropic does not use data submitted via the API to train its models. Your responses are used solely to generate your report.

No data is sold or shared

Your assessment responses and contact details are never sold to third parties or shared with any external organisation. They are used only to deliver your report and, if you choose, to follow up on your results.

Common questions

Plain-English answers to the business continuity questions we hear most often.

Do we really need a business continuity plan if we are small?

Size does not reduce the impact of a disruption — if anything, small businesses have less slack to absorb one. A continuity plan does not need to be a large document; it needs to answer a few specific questions: what can we not operate without, how would we keep going without it, and who decides what happens next. The free assessment tells you how much of that you already have.

What is the difference between having backups and having a business continuity plan?

Backups are one part of a plan, not the whole thing. A continuity plan also covers who is in charge during a disruption, what the business does while systems are being restored, which suppliers or processes it can fall back on, and how quickly each critical function needs to be working again. Many businesses have backups but nothing written down about the rest.

What do RTO and RPO actually mean?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly a system or process needs to be back up before the disruption becomes seriously damaging. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data or work you could afford to lose — for example, if your last backup was six hours old, would that be a problem? Alex asks about both in plain business terms, not technical specs.

How often should we test our plan?

At minimum, once a year, and after any significant change to the business — a new critical system, a new key supplier, or a change in headcount. Testing does not need to be a full simulated outage; even a short walkthrough of "what would we actually do" with the relevant people is enough to surface the gaps.

Is this the same as your cyber security or GDPR assessment?

No — they cover different risks. The Digital Resilience assessment looks at your cyber security posture, and GDPR looks at data protection compliance. Business continuity looks at whether the business could keep operating through any major disruption, whether that is a cyber incident, losing a key supplier, a site becoming unusable, or losing key staff.
