Surviving a disaster and ensuring feasible operations is a key corporate strategic objective and a fundamental necessity for any organisation. Those liable for management during emergencies need to count on verified explanations. Recent experience with disturbing events such as natural crises and terrorist attacks has shown some organisations didn’t have a disaster management capability nor adequate business continuity plans to maintain essential business activities during emergencies. That’s why ISO has an International Standards addressing continuity system.
What is ISO 22301 BCMS?
ISO 22301 standard addresses BCMS (Business Continuity Management System) to makeorganisationsmore resilient in both the private and public sectors. This standard provides a framework to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review and continually improve BCMS. This system helps organisations, regardless of their size, location or activity to be better prepared and more confident, so that management can handle any type of disruption without any hassles. To get knowledge about this standard, you can get in touch with an ISO 22301 BCMS consultant London.
These types of incidents can disrupt an organisation at any time. When ISO 22301 is applied, it ensures the organisation can respond and continue its operations. From large-scale natural disasters to technology-related accidents, incidents can take many forms. While many events are small, they can have a significant impact that makes business continuity management relevant at all times.
Implementing ISO 22301
ISO 22301 is business focused and even it must be driven by the company which is where many organisations assign the responsibility. This standard employs a structured process to business continuity which starts with the identification of an administration’s key products and services. It is then important to complete a business impact analysis (BIA). This analysis identifies the critical activities that support both products and services. These activities are followed by the business continuity strategy’s determination to develop a response including plans, implanting BCMS and putting in place a maintenance and review process. The complete BCMS process needs wrapping into a management system that ensures it is operating within a defined structure. If you are looking for a consultancy for
