Better, Safer Business Travel - BS ISO 31030 Travel Risk Guidance

in

SEPTEMBER 2021

Almost perfect timing for BS ISO 31030:2021 Guidance for organizations 

It has taken nearly ten years for an idea shared at a British Standards meeting in London to grow and develop into a full International Standard. The story of how the standard emerged is a great example of how industry professionals can work together to share experience and build solutions that can help address serious issues. The new guidance from ISO and the BSI sets a new standard for travel risk management that will help organizations of all types get back to work and build business travel confidence.   

ISO 31030 helps build back confidence in Business Travel

Modern business takes our people all over the world, but for some the experience of the jet set lifestyle can quickly transform into a nightmare if things go wrong.  A serious illness, traffic accident, mugging or theft can quickly throw a business travellers’ plans into chaos and expose them and their employer to even greater risks and potential harm. Yet most business travellers and their employers these risks are rarely thought through, and this leads many struggling to cope when the inevitable happens.  This happens to hundreds of thousands of people each year, but it doesn’t have to be this way and in a post-covid world we must do more to minimise travel risk of all types.

ISO Publication date confirmed 

ISO Travel Risk Standard helps manage Duty of Care For the past three years work has been underway to develop new guidance to help organizations meet their Duty of Care for travellers.  National Standards Bodies from more than 60 countries have been working with the ISO technical committeee for Risk Management (TC262) to agree a good practice framework that helps keep people safer and provides evidence that the organization is meeting its’ legal duties.

The Continuity Forum has been directly engaged in the work on the guidance at the national and international levels, as well as developing active sector engagement through our Policy Working Group (PWG).  

Compliance Management | ISO 19600 review and survey

in
ISO - International Standards Organization
The ISO Technical Committee for ISO 19600 relating to Compliance Management is preparing to discuss whether a revision of this standard should take place and, if so, how it can be improved.
 
To support this review a survey has been developed to gain feedback from both users and non-users of the standard looking at compliance management. You can help contribute to the decision making process by providing feedback and opinion by following the link below:
 
LINK TO ISO 19600 SURVEY 
 
The scope of ISO 19600
 
The International Standard ISO 19600:2014 Compliance management systems – Guidelines were published in 2014 as a Management System Standard. The standard does not specify requirements, but provides guidance on compliance management systems and recommended practices.
 
ISO 19600 can be used by numerous standards covering Risk, Information Technology, Business Continuity and Resilience Management to identify just a few.  The guidance it provides is intended to be adaptable, and the use of this guidance can differ depending on the size and level of maturity of an organization’s compliance management system and on the context, nature and complexity of the organizations activities, including its compliancy policy and objectives.
 
You do not need to be a user of ISO standards either as the flexibility provided through the guidance can help with other processes or management systems. ISO 19600:2014 is based on the principles of good governance, proportionality, transparency and sustainability.
 
The deadline for completing the survey is Monday 16th April 2018.
 

Introducing Standards

in

This is a short introduction to the world of Standards outlining how they are developed. 

A standard is a document defining best practice, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body (such as BSI, ANSI or ISO). Each standard is kept current through a process of maintenance and review whereby it is updated, revised or withdrawn as necessary.

These Risk Management Workshop sessions form part of the process of review and feedback on the developing nature of Risk Management standards and have been developed by the Continuity Forum and the BSI. 
 
They have been designed to flow together, creating engagement and drawing people into meaningful discussions on key issues surrounding Risk Management Standards and how it connects to other professional disciples that use Risk Management techniques such as Business Continuity, Resilience and Security Management.

Introducing the latest international standard ISO 22313
 
The Guidance for Business Continuity management standard ISO 22301
 
BS ISO 22313 Societal security — Business continuity management systems — Guidance offers global best practice to organizations implementing an effective Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).
 
Acting as the guidance document for ISO 22301, the standard provides a more intuitive framework to those pursuing business continuity best practice. It is a key milestone to support the uptake and implementation of effective BCM worldwide.
Together, these BCM standards seek to support organizations in their on-going challenge to improve business resilience in the face of unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather or civil unrest.
 

ISO Business Continuity Standard 22301 to replace BS 25999-2

in
 
BSI Business Continuity The BSI has confirmed that the new International Standard for Business Continuity - ISO 22301 Societal Security Business Continuity Management Systems  Requirements - will be officially published in mid May.
 
We expect that copies will be available for purchase from around the 15th May from this official link.  
 
With the publication of ISO 22301 it is expected that many countries around the world will formally adopt the International Standards Organization Standard for Business Continuity, enabling much greater international consistency to be realised between national requirements and better meeting the needs of global organizations.
 
In addition, as part of the ISO framework of standards, the new format helps create opportunities to manage what have often been independent systems in a more integrated way through common terms and processes. This should assist in better embedding of the various management systems available from ISO within organisations.
