The value for your organization

Less effort. Up and running sooner. Clear results.

The four questions behind every BCM decision – answered in the software itself.

Maintain once. Up to date everywhere.

Most of the effort goes into keeping documents current. In NICA, you maintain each value once – manuals and plans use the same data. When something changes, NICA shows which documents need to be regenerated.

FAQ

Questions about BCM software

How much documentation effort does NICA save?
That depends on how many documents you maintain today. The biggest lever is keeping them current: each value is maintained once and used in all generated documents. After a change, NICA shows which documents need to be regenerated.
How quickly can we get started with NICA?
With the Reactive maturity level: you capture your emergency organization, contacts and reporting paths in a guided way and generate your emergency manual from them. How long this takes depends on your existing documentation – we estimate it together in the demo.
Do we need a dedicated BCM officer?
You need one person who is responsible for the topic – not a separate department. This can also be an existing role, such as the head of IT or information security. NICA guides you through the capture and shows open issues; if you wish, we support you on an ongoing basis with emergency management as a service.
What exactly do we have after the introduction?
Generated documents per maturity level: with Reactive, among others, the emergency manual, crisis management manual and contact card; with Build-up, the BIA report, business continuity and recovery plans; with Standard, the policy, exercise concept and management review. Plus findings with standards references and a standards coverage matrix.
What is BCM software?
BCM software supports business continuity management by connecting processes, resources, risks and emergency plans. NICA supports business impact analysis, recovery planning and the creation of connected documents.
How does BCM differ from an IT emergency plan?
An IT emergency plan is a reactive starting point. BCM adds business impact analysis, risk analysis, continuity strategies and, depending on maturity, exercises and management review.
Which maturity level fits our company?
Reactive provides the foundations for emergencies. Build-up adds business impact analysis and recovery planning. Standard adds systematic BCMS management. We help determine the scope based on your existing structures and requirements.
Which documents does NICA generate?
Depending on maturity, outputs include emergency and crisis management handbooks, BIA reports, business continuity and recovery plans, and management review documents. See the documents section for the complete mapping.
How does NICA support audit preparation?
Findings, standards coverage and document control help you trace open issues and evidence. NICA supports audit preparation. Certification is carried out independently.
How are recovery times kept consistent?
The recovery time objective (RTO) and maximum tolerable period of disruption (MTPD) are derived from the business impact analysis. The shared data connects these values with handbooks and plans.
Is NICA suitable for regulated organizations?
NICA is aligned with BSI 200-4 and ISO 22301 and supports evidence documentation. The requirements that apply to your organization and how to meet them need individual assessment.
Where is our data stored?
The existing product offering includes data centres in Germany and a data processing agreement. We discuss data residency and tenant separation with you in the demo.
