BCMS (Business Continuity Management System) is a solution that helps companies identify potential risks. Moreover, it introduces effective strategies and solutions that influence the reduction of the probability and impact of disruptions and downtime on the continuation of business operations.
Large corporations:For many companies that have a complex operational structure and are exposed to a variety of risks, the implementation of ISO 22301 may be key to ensuring continuity of operations and reputational protection.
Public organisations:Public authorities providing key services to society, such as water supply, energy or health services, should consider implementing this standard to ensure continuity of these services in crisis situations.
Small and medium enterprises:Even if your organisation is smaller, disruptions to operations can have serious consequences. Implementing ISO 22301 can help identify potential threats and develop appropriate response strategies.
Organisations operating in high risk sectors:Companies operating in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, transport or energy, where problems can have serious consequences for society, should consider implementing this standard.
Organisations operating globally:Companies with operations spread across the globe may be exposed to a range of threats, such as natural disasters, political conflicts or supply chain disruptions. Implementing ISO 22301 can help manage these risks.
Suppliers of key services or products:If your company provides products or services that are critical to the operations of other organisations (e.g. IT suppliers or component manufacturers), implementation of ISO 22301 may be required or recommended by your clients.
Only by assessing foreseeable threats can you develop an effective protective mechanism. With BCM, when unforeseen threats occur, you will prepare the structure of your organisation to respond quickly and effectively. Don't wait - minimise the negative impact and quickly resume normal operations.

From 13 to 17 March I attended the "Course for Information Security Administrators" organized by ODO 24 sp. z o.o. I am very impressed with the high substantive level of the training staff and the comprehensive program. Working as an ABI requires knowledge not only of legal provisions but also of IT matters, which ODO 24 took into account. Noteworthy is the curriculum, which gradually introduces increasingly advanced nuances of personal data protection, starting from the legal basics and ending with practical aspects of auditing and working with documents within a company. The complete set of materials, editable documents and publications I received will facilitate my daily work as an ABI. I can certainly recommend ODO 24 as a reliable partner offering training services of a high standard.

For many years we have consistently placed great importance on the protection of the personal data of our customers as well as our employees. We took an active part in creating the "Code of Good Practice for the Protection of Personal Data of Customers and Potential Customers,” developed jointly by GIODO and the Polish Automotive Industry Association. Due to the complexity and variability of the rules on personal data protection, as well as Mazda’s dynamic development in Poland and the increasing volume of data we process, we decided to entrust the ABI function to a company specialized in this field. The decision to use the services of ODO 24 was primarily influenced by the experience and competence of the team of experts, the comprehensiveness of the offering and its flexibility in adapting to our organization. After a year of cooperation we can recommend ODO 24 as a professional and reliable partner.

We have been working with ODO24 for over a year. For us it has been a year of peaceful breathing and a sense of security: at least regarding personal data protection :-) The people at ODO are professionals who explain matters that are incomprehensible to the average person in an understandable way. They understand not only their profession but, which is very important to us, business and its requirements. A practical approach, constant advisory availability, and great relationships — all of this means I can recommend this Company to anyone who wants to work and sleep peacefully.

For several years we have been cooperating with ODO 24 in the field of personal data protection. A professional team that efficiently helped us to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. We make use not only of the experts’ knowledge but also of professionally prepared e‑training, thanks to which we were able to train several hundred employees in a very short time. I highly recommend ODO 24 as a professional partner delivering services at the highest level.
If your organisation falls under any of the above points, or you simply want to be sure that in the event of unforeseen circumstances you are well prepared - a business continuity management system in accordance with ISO 22301 is for you!
The implementation of a business continuity management system in accordance with ISO 22301 is a complex process that involves many units within an organisation. At the head of this process are typically business continuity specialists. They possess the specialist knowledge and experience that allow them to direct the implementation of appropriate strategies and procedures. Organisations also frequently make use of external consultants. These are advisory firms and independent experts who specialise in the implementation of ISO standards. Their experience and objective perspective are often invaluable in identifying best practices and avoiding pitfalls.
Internally, the implementation process is often coordinated by project teams. They are composed of representatives from different departments who collaborate to adapt the system to the organisation's individual needs. IT departments play a key role, especially regarding the technological aspects of the implementation. Thanks to them, digital systems are configured in a way that enables business continuity in crisis situations. The security department is another key player in this process. They identify potential threats and implement appropriate protective measures, covering both physical and information security.
Organisational management also plays an invaluable role. Their active engagement and support are necessary at every stage of the implementation. Strategy, resources and the direction of actions depend on them. However, employees must not be forgotten. They, working day-to-day within the organisation, will have to follow the new procedures. Therefore their training, understanding and engagement are key to the success of the entire endeavour. Finally, it is worth mentioning auditors, both internal and external. They carry out regular audits aimed at ensuring compliance with the standard and identifying areas requiring improvement. In some cases, implementing the system may also require cooperation with partners and suppliers. If the organisation's operations are closely linked with those of other entities, their active involvement in the process may be necessary to achieve full business continuity.
