BOLDplanning for Government Agencies

BOLDplanning’s cutting edge, cloud-based software tools have been designed to help organizations of all sizes and levels create government-compliant planning elements. BOLDplanning understands the various elements necessary for a successful and compliant emergency preparedness program. This includes significant expertise in Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG).

Regardless of whether you are managing a small, rural jurisdiction or a large state agency, BOLDplanning facilitates a streamlined and standardized approach throughout your organization.

The BOLDplanning approach is focused on ensuring that government organizations meet DHS/FEMA planning elements required for federal, state, regional, local and tribal organizations as well as private sector best practices.

BOLDplanning for Healthcare

The ability to resume operations, provide safe and secure facilities, and quickly access specific emergency operations information is critical for meeting life safety objectives and regulatory compliance. Public and private health organizations across the country are turning to BOLDplanning and our proprietary web-based planning system to assist with continuity planning, emergency operations, and security initiatives.

BOLDplanning produces customized planning systems designed to match each institution’s specific planning needs and requirements. Customized websites are deployed “in the cloud” to allow each organization to create their individual plans in an online, easy-to-use, standardized planning environment.

Public Health Departments, hospitals, primary care clinics, doctor’s offices, and long-term care facilities need effective, updated plans during a disaster response. That’s why customers consistently choose BOLDplanning.

BOLDplanning for Business

A lack of planning and preparedness can easily result in significant losses for your business when impacted by disasters or disruptions. For both large and small businesses, having a plan in place can be the difference in bouncing back or permanently closing your doors.

Most large corporations have full-time staff and allocated resources for Business Continuity Planning (BCP), Disaster Recovery (DR) and Crisis and Incident Management (C/IM); however the majority of small and medium-sized businesses have little internal expertise and support.

We work equally well with large businesses spread across multiple locations and small businesses with minimal staff and a single facility. We monitor several organization “standards” and match our planning process to these industry best practices.

The guidance and requirements from the following organizations are incorporated into our BOLDplanning methodology and software.

• Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII)
• Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
• FEMA Private Sector Preparedness Accreditation and Certification Program (PS-Prep)
• FEMA Continuity of Operations Division
• ISO 22301:2012 for Business Continuity Management Systems
