It’s now time to outline what the business should do to respond to each event, and how it will do this.
Give employees roles and responsibilities. Set timescales for actions (being mindful of the RTOs and MTPDs for your critical business functions). Create checklists to ensure compliance.
Think about creating policies for key procedures that will feature in your response. For example:
a decision-making procedure  communication policy (for both internal and external contacts)  a requirement to use an action and expense log
The latter will help you learn from the experience and help you with any potential insurance claim (as AXA highlight).
Template tips: the tables in section 5 have prompts to help you flesh out your contingency plans. You can also find:
an example checklist (section 3)  a communication policy section (section 6)  an action and expense log (section 10)
