ISO 22301: Business Continuity Management and Unikonsultant
Nowadays, the firms are exposed to different risks of catastrophes, ranging from natural to cyberattacks and even economic disruption. Under an adverse, unproportionate, and unexpected interruption, business resilience is very challenging to be achieved. However, the secret for survival lies in the existence of a well-built plan. It is at this point that ISO 22301 -the international standard for Business Continuity Management (BCM) -steps in. This standard provides organizations with an opportunity to ensure their capability to continue operations amidst disruptions.
At Unikonsultant, we offer consultancy services for the implementation of ISO 22301 to help businesses develop business continuity management systems in the most robust and effective way. We are not a certification authority, but our guidance will guarantee that your business is ready for whatever comes, which you’ve got control over creating your future.
The international standard outlining the requirements for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) is ISO 22301 . This standard helps in planning for disruption, and it allows organizations to continue delivering their essential products and services during times of crisis. It provides risk assessment, business impact analysis, and strategies and plans for operational resilience.
Implementing ISO 22301 for businesses has a methodical approach to identifying risks, preparing for them, and managing the recovery. Forthwith, it enables organizations to have control over downtime and protects their reputation by doing so, and also facilitates recovery to occur as soon as possible.
Why is Business Continuity Management Important
No business is immune to interruptions-from floods and cyber attacks to the unexpected failure of key processes. A truly robust Business Continuity Management system will ensure that when such disruptions occur, your organization is able to continue operating, minimising the impact on customers and stakeholders.
Business Continuity Management is the idea of disaster recovery but is more about not being affected by disruptions by anticipating problems and taking all steps that prevent them even from happening. The business can be prepared to react to unexpected events, and everything again will flow, including uninterrupted critical operations due to a Business Continuity Management system.
