In this arena of business environment, the global economy is growing more complex and interdependent everyday. Every organization, regardless of their size or nature of business, whether in the private or public sector are vulnerable to many disruptionsand needs to be secured towards disruptions, incidents and inside & outside threats.The ability to be able to continue operations regardless of any minor or major incident is becoming increasingly important to businesses globally.

The truth is that, many organizations lack effective backup systems and have poor resilience in the face of threats to their business operations. Incidents that occur within your own business or ecosystem can slow down or even halt your activity due to insufficient planning and resource allocation for dealing with unexpected disruptions,which in turn directly impacts customers and incur increased costs. Disruptions can cause a drop in quality and efficiency, which in turn will lead to a loss of stakeholder confidence.Anticipating rupture and having a contingency plan in place is highly essential in order to keep your business on toes no matter what happens.

Solution

Therefore, an organization needs to take precautions and be prepared, ensuring continuity of critical business functions by Implementing business continuity management systems and standards that enables your organization to handle any disruptions due to threats.

ISO 22301

ISO 22301 standard provides all the requirements for an effective Business Continuity Management System to protect companies against threats and ensure your business recovers from disruptive incidents.The BCMS provides a framework for building organizational resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, premises, technology, brand and reputation through effective planning, implementing and maintaining a documented management system to prepare, respond and recover from any disruptive incidents.It specifies the requirements to


BCMS is not how you prevented crisis but more importantly what you will do post crisis.It also covers the whole BCM life cycle and is applicable to all sectors of businesses and industry at large.With an effective Business Continuity Management System in place, your organization is prepared to detect and prevent threats and enables you to respond effectively and promptly based on the procedures that apply before, during and after the event.Implementing a strong BCMS will aid your organization to quickly recover from a disaster or disruption and safeguard an organization against the reputation damage which can occur from missed deadlines, data leakages, operational, IT outages, industrial actions, disappointed clients or direct financial losses due to the disruption.

Who should get ISO 22301 certified

Being international standard for Business Continuity Management System, the objective of ISO 22301 is to protect, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise. This is achieved by implementing a Business Continuity plan within your organization which clearly states that you are prepared for the unexpected.ISO 22301 is best suited to organizations that do not have the luxury of managing downtime without disruption. Using industry best practice guide as a foundation, the standard has been introduced,to be applied to organization of any size and nature who wish to implement a BCMS of their own.This enables the organization to understand, develop and implement a structured and formalized Business Continuity Management system which will help minimize risk in case of a chance of disruption.

For example, organization who deals with the Information and Communication Technologies cannot afford outages as this could as it could lead clients move to a much efficient service provider who seem to be more reliable. The same truth holds for organizations operating in high risk environments, irrespective of their size, nature or geography such as

  • Software
  • Service Industries
  • Hospitals
  • Health Care
  • Manufacturing
  • Medical
  • Utilities
  • Financial Services

Why ISO 22301 is important

ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System is a holistic management methodology that identifies potential threats to an enterprise, through a framework for developing organizational resilience, and the impacts to business operations those crises could cause, if they happen to occur. Crisis can be described in several outage scenarios but chiefly they can combine people outage or unavailability, physical site, communication or technology, and/or vendor unavailability. An effective business continuity management system (BCMS) will help organizations to develop and maintain a best practice approach to respond effectively to any disruption, by implementing continuous improvement tools and techniques.

It is essential for most organizations to develop a business continuity management system because,

  • There is a need to assure their customers and other stakeholders that the organization has the ability to meet continuity requirements and expectations.
  • A certification to ISO 22301 will provide that confidence to the organization’s customers.
  • The organizations need to develop a consistent approach to deal with disruptive incidents.
