With the release of the new BCMS Guidance should organisations consider ISO22301 certification more seriously?

/EINPresswire.com/ Following the release of the ISO22313 BCMS Guidance in January, organisations that don’t have an effective business continuity management system (BCMS) in place, have a serious reason to consider implementation now.

IT Governance Ltd, the business continuity management and compliance experts, advise that implementing a BCMS compliant with the international ISO22301 BCMS Requirements brings a lot of tangible benefits.

A BCMS helps create effective operational business continuity plans which are aligned with strategic organisational objectives. As these plans form part of a managed system they can be continually improved as the organisation grows. It ensures financial and business assets are better protected.

ISO22301 certification on the other side demonstrates to key stakeholders the organisation’s commitment to operational resilience and increases its competitive advantage.

The first step towards implementing an ISO22301-compliant BCMS is that professionals familiarise themselves with the standard and secure management support.

The next logical step is to ensure the availability of knowledgeable and skilled resources to start the implementation project. In this case, professional ISO22301 training is a must to ensure successful implementation.

A comprehensive ISO22301 Training Programme is now available from IT Governance which offers delegates the opportunity to attain an industry standard qualification and to help their organisation achieve compliance and best practice with the ISO22301 standard.

The ISO22301 programme consists of the following courses which are designed to meet the level of competence requirements at any stage of the project:

• ISO22301 Certified BCMS Foundation - www.itgovernance.co.uk/shop/p-694.aspx
