Business Continuity Management and Information Security are achieved by applying best practice measures and controls, which require a combination of policies, procedures, organisational structures and physical or hardware / software measures to be implemented.
Business Continuity Management
Business Continuity Management is increasingly seen as an integral part of an organisation's approach to managing organisational risk.
An effective Business Continuity Programme will:
- Reduce the extent and impact of an interruption
- Provide a structured response
- Protect the reputation of an organisation
- Limit financial loss
- Provide trained personnel to handle emergencies and restore operations
In order to implement, manage and maintain Incident Management and Business Continuity Plans successfully within your organisation, it is critical that you understand the process involved in business continuity management for reviewing and auditing existing plans.
Information Security
The use of information and the technology to process it is still rapidly growing, and organisations' dependence on information is continually increasing. Dependence on information systems and services means organisations are more vulnerable to a wide spectrum of security threats. All organisations are now targets for an attack on their IT.
Organisations have a differing set of requirements in terms of the controls and level of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information that are required.
An effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) will:
- Reduce liabilities due to un-implemented or enforced policies and procedures
- Provide an opportunity to identify and fix weaknesses
- Enable senior management to take ownership of Information Security
- Provide an independent review of the organisation's Information Security Management System
- Provide confidence to trading partners, stakeholders, and customers (certification demonstrates "due diligence")
- Better awareness of security
- Combine resources with other Systems / Departments
