The Business Continuity Maturity Model® (BCMM®) is a free open access tool created to assist businesses in building and maintaining a sustainable BC program. New standards for business continuity are continuously emerging, pressuring BC managers to find a business continuity program diagnostic tool that is objective, consistent and repeatable. Unlike published standards that define program criteria, the BCMM® provides you with the steps to take on the path toward compliance.

While there are a number of companies that can provide a proprietary evaluation, the challenge is to find a globally recognized and applied tool that is based on measurable program milestones. The BCMM® helps organizations achieve their desired resiliency level by providing answers to the following questions:

Where are we now?
Where do we ultimately want to be?
Where should we be next?
The BCMM® is a tool for businesses of all sizes to perform self-assessments and assist in improving their ability to recover from a disruption. The BCMM® provides a consistent, objective means for evaluating a company’s state of preparedness, including evaluation criteria in 8 critical corporate competencies across 6 levels. These competencies address business continuity program considerations including, but not limited to the traditional areas of business recovery, security management, incident management and technology recovery.
