Accreditation For Business Continuity Management Systems
Business Continuity Management System certification is provided by certification bodies to organizations who have demonstrated that they have implemented a system for business continuity.
A business continuity management system brings together methods, procedures, processes and rules surrounding the continuation of critical processes. It is a process-oriented approach that requires interaction between management, business and support processes and can be interwoven with existing management systems such as your QMS (quality management system) and ISMS (information security management system).
An important part of the BCMS is the business impact analysis (BIA), which not only identifies the essential processes for your organisation, but also examines the requirements for the availability of these processes. If you have you completed such a BIA, then you can develop concrete business continuity strategies and plans to cover your organisation against all common risks. Business continuity management (BCM) is a framework for identifying an organization's risk of exposure to internal and external threats.
ISO 22301 that specifies security requirements for disaster recovery preparedness and business continuity management systems (BCMS) and emphasizes the importance of Understanding continuity and preparedness needs, as well as the necessity for establishing business continuity management policy and objectives, implementing and operating controls and measures for managing an organization's overall continuity risks, monitoring & reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the business continuity management system.
The goal of BCM is to provide the organization with the ability to effectively respond to threats such as natural disasters or data breaches and protect the business interests of the organization. BCM includes disaster recovery, business recovery, crisis management, incident management, emergency management and contingency planning.
