Continuity and preparedness management
Take continuity and precautionary measures into account in management and decision-making
Continuity and precautionary measures must be taken into account in all decision-making. When making decisions, assess in particular whether they affect functions that are critical to the organisation or its stakeholders. If the decisions and changes caused by them affect critical functions, assess their related risks.
Management decides on the principles of continuity management. The management must also make sure to create appropriate processes for emergency preparedness and monitor the development of precautionary measures. Management must also regularly monitor the state of continuity management and ensure that the results of the monitoring are documented.
