Document background
The Business Continuity Plan Risk Assessment is a critical document required by Swiss regulations and FINMA guidelines to ensure organizations can identify, assess, and mitigate risks that could disrupt their operations. This document becomes particularly important in the context of Switzerland's strict regulatory environment, especially for financial institutions and critical infrastructure operators. It should be updated annually or when significant changes occur in the business environment, organizational structure, or regulatory requirements. The assessment includes detailed analysis of operational risks, compliance requirements, control effectiveness, and recommended mitigation strategies, serving as a foundational element for the organization's broader business continuity management framework. It helps organizations meet their regulatory obligations while protecting their operations, reputation, and stakeholder interests in the Swiss market.
