What does a business continuity analyst do?

A business continuity analyst helps ensure the smooth operation of a business in the event of a disaster or emergency, which may affect operations or cause a loss of information. As a risk management professional, their duties are to perform inspections and analysis of the organization’s preparedness and make suggestions on how to improve recovery time after an emergency. A business continuity analyst works closely with contingency coordinators and facilities managers, providing them with key guidance on how to quickly implement contingency plans.
