Organizations need a system that can fulfill their needs that involve the security aspect and the enterprise's overall organizational goals. Companies faced security challenges and service disruption issues during the global pandemic, causing them a substantial financial loss. Many organizations had to adopt the new working culture that involves managing the human resource, working shifts, and implementation of IoT. This has resulted in additional legal and compliance issues.
Organizations need to create a business continuity management system that can help them recover from biological threats. This strategy can help them avoid future lockdown scenarios, disruption of services, consequences of breaches of the contract, inefficiency of organization, and penalties caused by non-compliances during unprecedented events.
The
standard ISO 22301
Guidelines to implement a business continuity management system have been addressed in the ISO 22301: 2019 "security and resilience- Business continuity management system- Requirement." The ISO 22301 regulation covers all the management and operational areas and provide organizations the capability to implement a business continuity management system to protect themselves from disruptive events. In the past, ISO 27001 has been implemented to avoid the damage after occurring of natural events. The earthquakes, floods, and service interruption in IT companies are examples of such events. But now, companies need to consider the biological risk while implementing a business continuity management system.
