Alerts & Notifications

Real-time alerts that keep every stakeholder informed the moment it matters most.

Respond Immediately. Every Time.

Alert notifications are a crucial aspect of any business continuity plan. Your organization's ability to respond immediately to a business disruption without delay depends largely on this feature. Stay In Business has an entire module dedicated to alerts that lets you keep your staff updated in real time.

Not every disruption requires activating a full recovery plan. Minor incidents — such as severe weather conditions prompting staff to work from home — still need timely, targeted communication. SIB's alerts module handles both scenarios with equal precision.

  • Instant notification to all relevant stakeholders
  • Auto-mapping to linked assets, teams, and contacts
  • Configurable criticality levels from Negligible to Severe
  • Multiple communication channels supported
Alert Criticality Levels
Negligible

Awareness only — no immediate action required from teams

Low / Medium

Targeted notifications to specific locations or business processes

High / Severe

Full stakeholder mobilisation — escalate and activate recovery plans

How the Alerts Module Works

A purpose-built alerts engine that automatically connects disruptions to the right people through the right channels.

Automatic Entity Mapping

When you create an alert for a specific location or business process, SIB automatically maps it to all linked entities — assets, teams, IT applications, and contacts — so nothing and no one is missed.

  • Location-based alert mapping
  • Business process linkage
  • Assets & IT apps included

Selective Group Exclusion

Even after the system auto-links all modules to an alert, you retain full control. Exclude specific groups from receiving the alert with a single action — ensuring only the right people are notified.

  • Group-level exclusions
  • Fine-grained recipient control
  • Override auto-mapping as needed

Escalation Management

If a hazard intensifies beyond the initial forecast, escalate the alert to a higher criticality level instantly. Define as many levels as your organization needs — from Negligible through to Severe.

  • Custom criticality levels
  • One-click escalation
  • Audit trail of level changes

Multi-Channel Delivery

Roll out alerts through multiple communication options — ensuring messages reach stakeholders regardless of their location, device, or connectivity status during a disruption.

  • SMS & email delivery
  • In-app notifications
  • Multiple channel fallbacks

Alerts for Every Type of Disruption

From location-specific incidents to organization-wide emergencies — SIB's alerts module is built for every scenario.

Severe Weather

Notify employees to work from home or evacuate a specific site before conditions deteriorate — without triggering a full recovery plan activation.

Facility Incidents

Alert occupants and response teams about power outages, access restrictions, or infrastructure failures affecting a specific location.

Cyber Incidents

Immediately notify IT teams and relevant business units the moment a cyber threat is detected — with escalation paths mapped to the severity of the breach.

Health & Safety Events

Broadcast health alerts — pandemic updates, on-site incidents, or public health advisories — to targeted teams or the entire organization in seconds.

Operational Disruptions

Alert specific business process owners when a supplier failure, system outage, or staffing shortage threatens a critical operational function.

Full Emergency Declaration

When a disaster affects the entire organization, escalate directly to a full emergency declaration — activating recovery plans and notifying all stakeholders simultaneously.

The SIB alerts flow is straightforward: an incident is detected → an alert is created and mapped to all linked entities → selected groups are notified through their preferred channels → if the situation escalates, criticality is upgraded and a wider set of stakeholders is engaged → full emergency declaration is triggered if required. Every step is logged for post-incident review.
