The challenge of continuity
Your company’s IT infrastructure is now as critical a resource as its financial and human resources.
Let’s face it, you’re never safe from massive disruption to your information systems as a result of a disaster, which will almost certainly lead to loss of production resources, or worse, loss of data, with nightmarish consequences: failure to respond to customer requests, delays in orders, missed delivery deadlines, termination of contracts, loss of confidence, disappointed and angry shareholders, and loss of reputation that is often impossible to restore.
This kind of event doesn’t just happen to others. In specialist circles, we often say:
“There are two types of organizations: those that have suffered a major disaster and those that will.”
Statistics from the Business Continuity Institute report that, out of 100 organizations hit by a disaster, 45 will not be able to recover and 30 will disappear within the next 2 years.
Let’s face it: a business continuity plan won’t eliminate the risk of disaster for your company, but you will have made every effort to reduce the probability of occurrence and the impact on your business. And even if you know you have to protect your business against the multitude of threats – from a “bad” server crash to a fire, not to mention the massive loss of telecommunications or half your staff missing due to a flu pandemic – you’re probably not in a position to provide the resources needed to take care of the issue, or you don’t know how to deal with a problem of such complexity.

ISO 22301 certification support
ISO 22301 is a family of requirements dealing with business continuity issues. This standard provides a basis for understanding, developing and implementing business continuity in an organization, so as to build trust in Business-to-Business and Business-to-Customer relationships. ISO 22301 was developed by continuity management practitioners and is based on considerable experience in the field. The standard also enables an organization to measure its ability to implement a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).
RISKILIENCE ensures that the implementation of a continuity management program complies with the guidelines and guiding principles of ISO 22301 and internationally recognized professional practices. Unless specific certification is required, recommendations and solutions will be tailored to each customer’s specific situation. RISKILIENCE consultants take account of the customer’s specific context at every stage in the implementation of the continuity management program. They can assist each customer in defining the rules of governance for the continuity management program that will suit the customer’s organization and reality. Policy, governance rules, management principles: these are all elements that will be established to comply with best practices and ensure an appropriate management framework for the continuity management program.
