Business continuity and risk

Risk

The implications for any organization faced with potential risks such as fire, theft, flood and terrorist attacks are huge.

  • “46% of FTSE 250 companies said it would take less than a day for a serious disruption to impact significantly on their business.”
  • “While 46% of businesses are required by customers to show they have business continuity measures in place, three quarters now ask their own suppliers to do the same.”

[BSI Business Barometer 2006]

Risk management is a multi-disciplinary field and covers a large and overlapping range of business areas. BSI British Standards can help provide you with standards and publications to assist your organization.

By managing risks, a business can reassure shareholders, customers and employees that it is being effectively managed and confirm its compliance with corporate governance requirements.
