ISO 22316:2017 (Security and resilience — Organizational resilience — Principles and attributes)
Published in 2017, this standard sets out principles, attributes and activities that an organization must consider in order to maintain and enhance its resilience. Organizational resilience is the ability to absorb and adapt in a constantly changing environment to meet its objectives and prosper.
Principles proposed by standard are the following:
- Aligned behaviour with vision, mission and values.
- Context understanding.
- Ability to absorb, adapt and effectively respond to change.
- Good governance and management.
- Diversity of skills, leadership, knowledge and experience.
- Coordination of all areas.
- Risk management.
Vision, mission and values must be shared throughout organization and be reflected in the low-level objectives of all areas, always aligned with business strategy. They must be reviewed regularly in order to be adapted to the changes produced.
We should not limit ourselves to current strategy and scope of the organization, it is necessary to reflect on a wider scope and following strategic evolution, counting on interested parties that are convenient, strengthening relation and commitments with them.
