Managing Crises – ISO 24762
Disasters come in many unpredictable forms, and always when you are least expecting them.
To safeguard business continuity and protect brand and shareholder value when crises strike, the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) has released a new standard relating to security techniques, and guidelines for information and communications technology disaster recovery services.
According to ISO/IEC Standard 24762:2008, business continuity management is an integral part of any thorough and complete risk management process and will involve:
- Identifying potential threats that may cause adverse impacts on an organisation’s day to day business operations, and its associated risks
- Providing a framework for building resilience into business operations
- Providing capabilities, facilities, processes, action task lists, etc., for effective responses to disasters and failures
- The requirements for implementing, operating, monitoring and maintaining ICT DR services and facilities;
- The capabilities which outsourced ICT DR service providers should possess and the practices they should follow, so as to provide basic secure operating environments and facilitate organizations’ recovery efforts;
- The guidance for selection of recovery site; and
- The guidance for ICT DR service providers to continuously improve their ICT DR services.
