Insurance may cover the lost value of assets, but only if you can demonstrate that you have protected the business to the best of your ability. Whether the issue is a workplace threat or a business disruption due to an environmental disaster, management must minimize risk and be prepared to respond to emergency situations effectively and decisively. Shareholders, stakeholders and corporate directors expect that those charged with managing business risk can effectively respond to the diverse range of challenges that face companies today.
Bureau Veritas Certification’s Security Risk Management System Standard provides a structure for organizations large and small to systematically assess their operational strengths and weaknesses in order to protect assets, prevent loss and maximize resources.
The Standard provides a framework for business leaders to develop security goals, objectives and measurements that can be communicated throughout the organization, to include:
- Establish policies that define how the organization protects and uses its assets.
- Perform risk analysis to determine current and potential vulnerability and to make determinations concerning physical site security to enhance the safety of personnel and information systems.
- Perform disaster recovery planning to identify needed resources or services that might be essential for your organization to swiftly recover from major business disruptions.
- Establish monitoring programs to ensure that plans are routinely reviewed and to continually improve the performance of the security management system.
Bureau Veritas Certification's Security Management System integrates with other management systems that may already be in place within your organization, utilizing the proven principles of international standards such as ISO 9000 and ISO 14001. Adoption of this Standard will provide a basis for increasing security awareness within your organization, lessening breaches and improving profitability and accountability. This Management System approach will provide the structure for creating a system that works for you today, but adapts to your needs as your business grows, evolves and market conditions change.
