Challenges faced in BCMS implementation or upgrading to new version?

Most organizations faced a lot of challenges in upgrading the business continuity management system (BCMS) based on ISO 22301:2019 international standard in an effective manner. The BCMS certification audit or internal audit can become a nightmare for searching right documentation and/or  records need to retrieve for the audit. They spend more time in managing documented information rather than focusing on managing or identifying new business continuity risks they faced. This situation further aggravated by difficulty in getting approval for CAPEX or increased in manpower due to Covid 19 pandemic.


Some of other challenges ISO 22301:2019-certified organizations can face are:-

  • Spending too much time doing administrative work, chasing people around for risk assessment, or  updating context and associated risks and opportunities at planned intervals or creating BIA
  • Shortage of resources, such as people, to manually manage BCMS documentation as a lot of time is required to create required documented information and managing voluminous excel spreadsheets. This take a lot of time.
  • Conducting  Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and linking prioritised activities to  risk assessment in an easy and effective manner so that all the business continuity  risks can be identified and controlled.
  • Frustration in managing and collating excel spreadsheets or existing software  because:-
    • They are prone to user error
    • They are hard to maintain
    • Difficult to record details about information assets as required by the standard
    • Difficult to find or link relevant data in multiple tabs
    • Does not automatically conform to ISO 22301:2019
  • Incorrect, inconsistent and not valid risk assessment process been used
  • Difficulty in understanding what is risks (threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood and consequence)
  • Reporting on and maintaining the business continuity management system for management review
  • Updating mandatory requirements such as reviewing issues, interested parties, BIA, risks, policies at planned intervals
  • Failure to implement a regular review of processes and compliance of Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS)
