Business Continuity Guidance
The procedures contain advice. For example, in the case of kidnap or extortion:
Following your assessment of the situation, decide what action to take. The options are:
1.To ignore the approach in order to test the seriousness of the extortionist
2.To make a response, indicating that [YOUR ORGANISATION] are willing to enter into a dialogue, but are not willing to concede to demands immediately
3.To signal to the extortionist that [YOUR ORGANISATION] are willing to concede to demands
