WHAT IS BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BCMS)

ISO 22301 specifies the format and provisions for implementing and maintaining a business continuity management system (BCMS) that reaches business continuity appropriate to the amount and type of impact that the business organization may or may not accept in the aftermath of a disruption. The consequences of maintaining a BCMS are defined by the organization's legal, regulatory, organizational, and industrial needs, goods and services given, procedures used, the organization's size and structure, and the requirements of its interested parties.

A BCMS emphasizes the importance of:

1-Understanding the organization's needs and the necessity of establishing business continuity policies and objectives,

2-Operating and maintaining processes, capabilities, and response structures to ensure the organization will survive disruptions,

3-Monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS,

4-Continual improvement based on qualitative and quantitative measures.

Benefits of a business continuity management system:

The purpose of a BCMS is to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities for managing an organization's overall ability to continue to operate during disruptions. In achieving this, the organization is:

From a business perspective:

-Supporting its strategic objectives; -Creating a competitive advantage; -Protecting and enhancing its reputation and credibility, -Contributing to organizational resilience;

From a financial perspective:

-Reducing legal and financial exposure; -Reducing direct and indirect costs of disruptions.

From the perspective of interested parties:

-Protecting life, property and the environment; -Considering the expectations of interested parties; -Providing confidence in the organization's ability to succeed.
