Being ISO 22301 certified is on the top of the priority list of organizations that need to demonstrate that they can provide continuous and productive services despite operational threats and disruptions. The BCM team can also use this certification to instill the business continuity discipline throughout their organizations.
ISO 22301 enables you to gain a better understanding of your company and build a business continuity strategy with appropriate response methods. Finally, you'll be able to integrate resilience capabilities with important management goals that promote continuous improvement.
But the question remains – is ISO 22301 relevant in this digital day and age?
It has become a must to digitize your business continuity plan in recent years. The number and the severity of dangers have expanded as digital technology has infiltrated every part of our professional and personal lives.
Today's businesses of all sizes must prepare ahead to minimize costly downtime, which can come from conventional risks like severe weather and electricity outages, as well as phishing attempts, data breaches, and everything in between. With each passing year, it becomes increasingly critical to update your business continuity plan to reflect the reality of today's business environment.
It's time to rethink and re-plan!
Only preemptive planning and a quick crisis reaction, best achieved with a digitized business continuity strategy, can help with business interruptions. Cyberattacks and data breaches, in particular, are incredibly fast-moving events, and your team must be ready to respond at any time.
The structure advocated by this ISO standard is excellent; however, the current rate of change and transformation is immense. For example, a corporation that relies on a digital environment, such as Netflix or Amazon, would undergo upgrades and modifications frequently, making it challenging to stay up without effective change management and integrated alerting.
Because the current standard does not address these needs, businesses are left to design resilience platforms for yesterday's world in today's environment. With that in mind, BCM next can bridge the gap.
A mobile business continuity software, which allows your team to get the information they need at the touch of a button using mobile phones or tablets, is one of the most effective ways to adopt digital planning. The plans can even be downloaded and stored on each mobile device to ensure that the data is accessible in a network outage.
We help comply with ISO 22301 and manage significant changes by having train on demand, test on demand, etc. BCM next is your ticket to the digital age.
