Business Continuity Planning
Operator-led business continuity planning and disaster recovery consulting for mid-market companies — the playbook you actually run when the day goes sideways.
Operator-led business continuity planning and disaster recovery consulting. A working playbook your team actually runs — not a binder that collects dust until the auditor asks for it.
A Business Continuity Plan You'll Actually Use
Most business continuity plans fail the first time they're needed. They were written by a consultant who never ran the company, formatted for a compliance checklist, and stuffed in a shared drive nobody opens. When ransomware hits, when the primary vendor goes dark, when a key person walks out — the plan doesn't survive contact with reality. Mebuis approaches business continuity planning the way an operator does: what has to keep running on Monday morning, who has authority to make the call, what does the first 60 minutes look like, and what's the honest recovery time for each critical system. We've lived through outages, cyber incidents, key-employee departures, and vendor failures inside real companies — and we build plans that match how decisions actually get made under pressure. Our business continuity consulting engagement covers the five things that matter: (1) a real Business Impact Analysis that ranks processes by revenue and cash exposure, not by department politics; (2) Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) grounded in what your infrastructure and vendors can actually deliver; (3) written runbooks for the top disruption scenarios — ransomware, cloud outage, key-person loss, primary-site loss, supply chain break; (4) a tested communications tree covering staff, customers, insurance, and legal; and (5) a tabletop exercise where your leadership team actually walks the plan before you need it. We also handle the boring parts that get skipped: keeping the plan version-controlled, mapping it to your cyber insurance requirements, and reviewing it after any material change to your tech stack, org chart, or customer base. If you already have a plan and want an operator's read on whether it will hold, we do continuity plan audits as a fixed-scope engagement.
Business Impact Analysis — Ranked by Revenue, Not Politics
We interview process owners, map each critical function to revenue, cash flow, and customer commitments, and rank recovery priority by what actually hurts the business — not by whoever spoke up loudest. You get a defensible priority list your executive team agrees with before any incident.
Realistic RTO / RPO Targets
Most plans list Recovery Time Objectives someone made up. We work with your IT team, MSP, and cloud vendors to set RTO and RPO targets your infrastructure can actually meet — and flag the gaps where current tooling won't deliver so you can decide what to invest in.
Scenario Runbooks You Can Actually Execute
Written playbooks for the disruptions that actually happen: ransomware, cloud provider outage, primary-site loss, key-person departure, and top supply chain failure. Each runbook names the decision-maker, the first-hour actions, communication scripts, and the trigger for declaring the incident over.
Tabletop Exercises With Your Leadership
Plans that haven't been walked don't work. We run a two-to-three hour tabletop exercise with your leadership team using a realistic scenario, capture what broke down, and revise the runbooks before you file them. Repeat annually or after any material change.
Cyber Insurance & Compliance Alignment
Your cyber policy has continuity and incident response requirements buried in the fine print — most companies don't discover the gap until a claim gets reduced. We align the plan to your policy language and to any SOC 2, HIPAA, or customer-contract obligations so the paperwork matches what you do.
Existing-Plan Audit (Fixed Scope)
If you already have a business continuity plan, we do a two-week operator audit: gap analysis against real threats, a walkthrough of the top three scenarios, and a written report your board and insurer will accept. Fixed price, fixed scope, no upsell into a full rewrite unless the plan genuinely can't be salvaged.

Who leads the work at Mebuis?
George C. Fassett, Jr. leads every engagement. He founded and built THUMBTECHS, Mebuis, MebuisWorks, and 1908 Builders, has more than 20 years as a CEO, holds a U.S. patent, is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and has an MBA.
How is Mebuis different from a traditional consulting firm?
Mebuis works as operators, not report writers. The people doing the work have run companies with real profit-and-loss responsibility, so recommendations are judged by whether they can be carried out by your team, not by how they look in a slide deck.
Who handles implementation after the plan is set?
Mebuis sets the strategy and priorities. Implementation work such as systems, automation, and technology build-outs can be handled by MebuisWorks (mebuisworks.com), the sister company that builds and runs what the plan calls for, or by your own team.
Where is Mebuis located, and do you work with businesses outside Texas?
Mebuis is based at 1908 Lone Star Rd. Ste B, Mansfield, Texas 76063, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and works with businesses across the United States.
