Business Continuity Services
At MHA Consulting, the team understands that every organization is unique, with its own set of challenges and requirements. That's why it offers a comprehensive range of business continuity services to assess, implement, exercise, and maintain the maturity and sophistication of your Business Continuity program.
· Current State Assessment (CSA)
MHA’s Current State Assessment provides an in-depth evaluation of the capability and maturity of your current Business Continuity and IT Disaster Recovery programs, based on industry best practices and standards. The assessment includes detailed findings, recommendations, and metrics defining your program's current maturity and recovery capability. This is an excellent first step for new and existing programs to establish a baseline of maturity and capability and develop a roadmap for future improvement.
· Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
MHA’s Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifies the critical business processes and information technology that are essential to your organization's operations. It determines the quantitative and qualitative impacts of downtime, defining your organization's target Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
· Threat & Risk Assessment (TRA)
MHA’s Threat & Risk Assessment identifies the man-made, technological, and natural threats that can impact your key business and IT processing facilities. It assesses the probability and potential impact of each threat and provide prioritized recommendations for improvement.
Crisis Management Services
At MHA Consulting, the team believes that a strong Crisis Management Team (CMT) is crucial for effective crisis management. The company’s team development process uses industry best practices and standards to create a CMT that is tailored to your organization's specific needs.

Emergency Notification System Implementation: The organization helps you select the best Emergency Notification System vendor for your organization's needs and manage the implementation process.

Is Your Organization Suited for MHA’s BCaaS?
MHA’s BCaaS is well suited for most companies, especially those that:
· Lack direction about what BCM means for the organization
· Need seasoned resources to jump start BCM efforts
· Lack a BCM program or have a program that is limited or outdated
· Expect a BCM program to be built the right way the first time
· Don’t want to make BCM a core competency or hire additional staff
Business Continuity Program Augmentation
· Service Commitment
At MHA, the team has a strong track record of working with clients to elevate their business continuity management (BCM) and disaster recovery (DR) programs. Its experienced team serves as a trusted partner, providing bespoke support to organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to Fortune 20 companies. Each client is assigned a dedicated senior consultant who takes ownership of their program, ensuring seamless communication and accountability.
· Expertise
MHA’s team consists of senior-level professionals with an average of 15 years of experience in BCM and DR. This expertise is leveraged to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.
· Customized Migration Plan
MHA offers a customized migration plan to transfer operational responsibility for your BCM or DR program. It begins by conducting a thorough assessment using industry best practices and its proprietary BCMMetrics tool. This evaluation identifies gaps between your current program, industry standards, and its expertise. The company then works with you to discuss areas of improvement, opportunities for growth, and any critical exposures that require immediate attention. Based on this analysis, MHA develops a tailored approach to your BCM and/or DR process, leveraging your existing capabilities while addressing necessary changes.
· Pricing
MHA’s pricing model is designed to provide transparency and flexibility. The initial Current State Assessment (CSA) and roadmap drive the development of a tailored annual Statement of Work (SOW), outlining specific deliverables and tasks for each quarter. The cost of MHA’s annual outsourcing agreement is comparable to hiring a senior-level BCM or DR planner, but you benefit from access to the resources needed to achieve your goals without increasing costs. With the company’s agreement, you pay the same price regardless of the number of resources required – whether one or three – and can expect the cost to decrease annually as components transition into maintenance mode.
