Maturity curve beyond certification?

Business Continuity programs and their competencies get validated over various forms. Internal audit, benchmarking assessments, awards, and certifications.


ISO22301:2019 Security and resilience — Business continuity management systems is a broadly recognized standard the validates the design and implementation of mature program capabilities within businesses.


Certification bodies and training organizations have reported a 40% increase in applications to be certified.


Some of the benefits of having ISO 22301:


● It provides your business continuity tool with a practical foundation necessary to weather any risks and disruptions.


● When you use ISO 22301 as a framework for your BCM, you show that the company has taken the essential steps to meet specific regulatory standards and responsibilities.


● An auditor can use ISO 22301 to report to management and within an organization to compare itself to best practices.


With all the good movements around the rise of Business Continuity, it is worth posing a query – Does getting certified to ISO22301 qualify the business continuity program to be the highest maturity?


Where does automation, innovations, enterprise resilience initiatives that enhance the program maturity beyond ISO22301 requirements fall in place?


Further, there are additional standards released by ISO on Supply chain management, Business resilience, etc., how do they line up?


We believe business continuity capabilities can be evolved through stages of basic, advanced, and leading stages.


Basic being the stage of compliance to ISO22301. Advanced being the ability to ensure resilience and continuity within external ecosystems. Leading being able to have synchronized business and business continuity capabilities enabled by digital resilience platforms.


With BCM next, Businesses will be able to enhance their compliance to ISO22301. As the documentation and implementation structures embedded are in alignment with the standard.


However citing its action modes and culture embedding capabilities, it enhances organization preparedness to advanced and beyond.

Get started now and experience the next evolution of Business Continuity.
