Interactive BCM system
BCM System Playground
Learn Business Continuity Management by doing it. Build a small demo BCM program from organization and BIA through recovery strategy, plans, exercises, incident activation and dashboards.
Private by design: this educational demo runs in your browser. Data is stored only in your browser's local storage and is not submitted to BCM.Center.

Module 01
Organization and critical services
Start with what the organization delivers and who owns it. A BCM data model should be more stable than individual plan documents.
Services in scope
Service details
Module 02
Business Impact Analysis
Define tolerable disruption, recovery objectives, minimum service and the dependencies required to recover.
Select a service
Decision rule
RTO should normally sit inside the maximum tolerable outage and be justified by impact—not selected simply because technology can recover that fast.
Module 03
Recovery strategy
Translate BIA requirements into people, workplace, technology, supplier and process recovery choices.
Strategy check
Module 04
Continuity plan builder
Create a concise operational plan linked to the service's approved BIA and recovery strategy.
Module 05
Exercise and assurance
Validate assumptions with a scenario, objectives, injects, observations and corrective actions.
Module 06
Incident mode simulation
Activate one demo service, record situation updates and watch the dashboard change. Nothing leaves your browser.
Module 07
Metrics, audit view and export
See what the demo records say about coverage and capability, then export the local workspace as JSON.
Evidence checklist
How to read these metrics
Coverage tells you whether records exist. Assurance tells you whether assumptions have been tested. Capability compares business requirements such as RTO with demonstrated recovery performance. Do not reduce all three into one green percentage without preserving the underlying exceptions.
BCM reporting guideWhy this playground exists
Searchers looking for a BCM system or BCM software often see product pages before they understand the underlying workflow. This playground separates the method from the vendor: service scope → BIA → strategy → plan → exercise → incident → metrics.
What a real system adds
Production BCM platforms add secure authentication, organizational permissions, workflow approvals, integrations, notifications, audit history, controlled document versions, resilience of the platform itself and enterprise reporting. This demo intentionally keeps everything client-side.
Where ISO 22301 fits
ISO 22301:2019 remains the published BCMS requirements standard in 2026, with Amendment 1:2024. The playground illustrates operational concepts but does not claim conformity or replace the standard, internal audit or certification assessment.

Use the software requirements guide when defining a platform, the BIA guide when setting recovery requirements, and the reporting guide when deciding what leadership should see.
