Overview
How confident is your organisation to continue operating despite a major interruption? Loss of IT systems is the most common interruption suffered by organizations, regardless of size or sector, but how would you fare with other problems, such as:
- Severe weather
- Pandemic flu or other disease outbreaks
- Terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure
- Flooding
- Fire
Theft
Transport system failure - Major industrial accident
- Any other threat particularly relevant to your organization
Often times, when the unexpected happens (eg, extended periods of rain, flooding, a key employee being ill, along power-cut), a lack of business continuity planning has made it difficult for organizations to continue their activities. Some businesses actually go out of business as a result. Hence, ISO 22301 – Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) was introduced by the International Organization for Standardization. Once implemented, your organization can choose to get certified by Certifying Bodies.
Why Business Continuity Management System?
- n the harsh realities of a globalized and highly competitive world, fulfilling customer’s orders in a timely manner wherever they are in the world is pivotal.
- It is also a matter of compliance with some countries that your organization may export to such as USA, Australia, UK etc.
- The cost of a mishandled crisis is significantly higher than the cost of planning for a crisis.
- A BCMS is a risk management strategy for your organisation.
