Business & Digital Resilience: Security in a complex world
Organisations are increasingly faced with a variety of challenges that test their operations and their ability to respond to incidents. From cyber-attacks and system failures to environmental impacts and global crises, organisations need to be resilient and adapt quickly to new circumstances. A holistic view of business and digital resilience plays a central role: forward-looking analysis and planning, the definition of clear processes, regular testing and effective responsiveness can minimise damage and maintain business operations. Many sectors are also subject to increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, such as risk management, or the obligation to organise emergency and crisis management appropriately.
Thinking resilience through to the end
Our extensive expertise in business continuity management (BCM), IT service continuity management and preventive and reactive crisis management ensures that critical operational processes are maintained during and after a disruption. By developing and implementing emergency measures, conducting regular training and exercises and continuously monitoring and improving resilience measures, companies can minimise their downtimes and mitigate risks.
KPMG's structured and proven approach supports fast and reliable (IT) recovery through customised criticality assessments, proactive resilience strategies and continuous testing. This includes the implementation of backup and recovery solutions as well as the regular review and updating of IT strategies.
The end-to-end approach in the area of resilience also includes advice on compliance with regulatory requirements, maturity assessments, the protection of critical IT systems and the establishment of emergency and crisis structures, through to testing and support in the event of a crisis.
Even then, our experienced experts are reliably at your side: with clear processes and proven structures - to categorise the situation, assess risks and make effective decisions. So that your company remains stable and able to act - even under pressure.

The established BCM framework ensures that critical operating processes are maintained during and after a disruption. It minimises downtime and mitigates risks through the development and implementation of emergency plans, regular training and exercises as well as the continuous monitoring and improvement of resilience measures.
Readiness and maturity assessments for areas such as BCM and ITSCM are essential for targeted improvements. They identify weaknesses, set priorities and develop customised action plans to strengthen your company's resilience.
Comprehensive, scenario-based tests and exercises are used to test existing skills and optimise IT and non-IT processes so that everyone involved knows how to react in an emergency and contingency plans can be continuously improved.
The ITSCM service ensures fast and reliable IT recovery through customised criticality assessments, proactive resilience strategies and continuous testing. This includes the implementation of backup and recovery solutions as well as the regular review and updating of IT strategies.
Comprehensive expertise, based on numerous successful projects, supports you in assessing and complying with legal regulations as well as with resilience-related certifications. The aim: to meet the requirements of national and international regulatory authorities and minimise compliance risks.
The preventive crisis management service enables organisations to be well prepared to bring about rapid crisis solutions - through clear roles, documented procedures and proactive crisis communication. This allows potential crises to be identified at an early stage and suitable measures to be taken to minimise the impact on your company.
We manage or support the immediate response to incidents and the recovery of operations and services during and after a crisis. The combination of organisational management and recovery enables a rapid resolution of the situation with minimal business interruption.
