As a modern, progressive business, VM&A recognizes at the highest levels the need to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted operation of its activities for the benefit of customers and other stakeholders.
In order to provide such a level of continuous operation, VM&A has implemented a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in accordance with the international business continuity standard, ISO22301.
Running a BCMS has many benefits for the business, including:
Protecting the company's revenue streams and profitability
Ensuring the supply of goods and services to clients
Maintaining and enhancing the value of the company
Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements
The policy is available in both paper and electronic form and is communicated within the organization and to all relevant stakeholders and interested third parties.
The commitment to achieving business continuity extends to the highest levels of the organization through the provision of appropriate resources for the creation, development and implementation of the BCMS.
Senior management also ensures that a systematic review of program performance is conducted on a regular basis to ensure business continuity objectives are met and relevant issues are identified through the audit program and management processes.
A business impact and risk assessment process are in place, which are in line with the requirements of the ISO 22301 standard. Risk management is carried out at various levels within the ISMS, such as:
Business continuity management planning – risks to achieving objectives
Business continuity risk assessments
Assessing the risk of changes as part of the business change management process
At project level as part of the management of significant business changes
We encourage all employees and other stakeholders in our business to contribute to business continuity goals. From the Administration
