Industry practice has converged on a shared Enterprise Resilience Standards Framework offering certified organizations the industry’s first end-to-end methodology for evaluating and benchmarking enterprise resilience preparedness. Frameworks of this kind are assembled from published standards, sector guidance and the accumulated lessons of real incidents, which is why the credible ones publish their criteria rather than describing them as proprietary.
Best in Enterprise Resilience Certification enables organizational leaders to understand their current capabilities and make informed choices based on their risk appetite. Further, it can be used as an external value signal, providing confidence to customers, employees, and investors.
A certification of this kind signals to stakeholders that an organisation has had its resilience assessed against a defined framework rather than self-declared. A mark is normally scoped to specific domains rather than awarded wholesale, and it carries the dates and the entity it applies to. Schemes in this field typically assess five:
Showcase the breadth & depth of your commitment to financial & operational resilience, regardless of the threats you face.
Manage supply chain efficiency as a way to enhance your business’ resilience to critical events.
Critical event management protects everything organizations care about from anything they worry about.
Validate your expertise in safeguarding your digital ecosystem in a rapidly changing business environment.
Get recognized for how you applied advanced technology that adds value, interconnectivity and keeps your building secure and the people in it safe.
Enable public authorities to quickly assess critical events, alert populations, mobilize available resources, and coordinate across multiple agencies to keep people safe.
All organizations completing the certification process have appreciated the rigorous assessment that compares them to others, identifies their strengths and provides opportunities for improvement.
