Zombies, UFO’s and Business Continuity

It may be unlikely that your business comes under attack from Zombies or UFO's but what about other events that may occur.
What plans do you have for business continuity should an unplanned event happen.

In this episode I talk with Steve Stobo from CCS Risk about Business Continuity ISO standard 22301.

ISO 22301 is an international standard that provides a framework for Business Continuity Management (BCM). The standard outlines best practices for identifying potential threats to an organisation, assessing the impact of those threats, and developing and implementing a plan to ensure that critical business functions can continue in the event of a disruption.

 

ISO 22301 provides a structured approach to BCM, helping organisations to identify critical business processes, dependencies, and risks. It provides a set of requirements and guidelines for developing and implementing a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), which includes policies, procedures, and controls to manage business continuity risks.

 

The standard covers a range of topics, including business impact analysis, risk assessment, crisis management, and business continuity planning. It also includes requirements for maintaining and testing the BCMS to ensure that it remains effective in the face of changing threats and circumstances.

 

By implementing ISO 22301, an organisation can demonstrate to its customers, stakeholders, and regulators that it is prepared to manage disruptions and minimize the impact of any incidents. It can also help to improve the resilience and agility of the organisation, reducing the risk of downtime and ensuring continuity of critical business functions.
