ISO 22301 Lead Implementer Business continuity – when things go seriously wrong!
ISO 22301 is a management systems standard for BCM which can be used by organizations of all sizes and types.
These organizations will be able to obtain accredited certification against this standard and so demonstrate to legislators, regulators, customers, prospective customers and other interested parties that they are adhering to good practice in BCM.
ISO 22301 also enables the business continuity manager to show top management that a recognized standard has been achieved.
ISO 22301 may also be used within an organization to measure itself against good practice, and by auditors wishing to report to management.
ISO 22301 emphasizes the need for a well-defined incident response structure. This ensures that when incidents occur, responses are escalated promptly and people are empowered to take the necessary actions to be effective.
Life safety is emphasized, and a particular point is made that the organization must communicate with external parties who may be affected, for instance, if an incident poses a noxious or explosive risk to surrounding public areas.
To work well, ISO 22301 will need organizations to have thoroughly understood its requirements.
Every line and word has meaning, and the relative importance is not necessarily reflected by the number of words devoted to a topic.
Rather than being just about a project or developing “a plan,” BCM is an ongoing management process requiring competent people working with appropriate support and structures that will perform when needed.
