ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management. Continued operations in the event of a business disruption, whether due to a major disaster or a minor incident, are a fundamental requirement for any organization. Ensuring operational continuity has led to the development of Business Continuity Management (BCM) as a recognized business discipline, and the ISO standard is an internationally-recognized management framework ensuring consistency, credibility and viability to existing business continuity management programs.
If your organization wants to set up and manage a mature and comprehensive system for managing potential incidents and business interruptions, Certified Information Security can teach your team members how to do it, and can certify their competence according to this new ISO BCM standard. Certifying your organization’s business continuity and resilience according to ISO best practices will instill confidence in your senior management, board of directors, regulators, and other stakeholders that the organization’s BCM program is up to par with internationally accepted best practices.
How can I become certified as an ISO BCM expert?
Since Business Continuity Management is more important than ever in today’s risk conscious business environment, and because ISO now provides the opportunity for the organization to certify its Business Continuity Management System, organizations have a new and pressing need for professionals especially trained and skilled at establishing, managing, exercising, and maintaining business continuity according to this new international standard of best practice. Because business continuity planning and response procedures often are inadequate due to the limitations of knowledge and involvement of corporate governance decision makers, the Standard requires exactly the kind of evidence of training and documented understanding the CIS BCM credentialing scheme provides. If an organization wants to get its own ISO BCM certification, it needs evidence of appropriate training and competence to fulfil the certification requirements of the standard itself.
Certified Information Security provides the third-party training and professional credentialing necessary to set you apart as a BCM authority who knows BCM according to the ISO standard of BCM best practices. Train in class or online, take your exams, and get certified as an ISO business continuity strategist, administrator, or manager.
