Together with BC Consulting, SELSA launched a structured BCMS implementation project in October 2024: systematic, practical and fully mapped in bcNAVIGATOR. As the next step, SELSA decided to pursue ISO 22301 certification and have the newly established management system externally validated. In June 2025, the BCMS was successfully certified according to ISO 22301.

Customers and business partners expect a high degree of reliability, while regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, companies are facing a growing number of potential threats \u2013 from geopolitical tensions to extreme weather events and cyberattacks.  <\/p><p>Against this background, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/75106.html\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 22301<\/a> certification is becoming increasingly important. It serves as independent proof for companies that they have systematically secured their business continuity and are prepared for crises and unexpected disruptions. What used to be particularly relevant for large corporations is now developing into an important competitive factor for more and more companies.  <\/p><h2>Why companies rely on ISO 22301 certification<\/h2><p>The ISO 22301 certification confirms by an independent body that a company has systematically considered its critical business processes, analyzed potential risks and implemented appropriate measures to ensure business continuity.<\/p><p>The importance of certification is increasing, especially in highly regulated industries and industries where trust plays a major role. It is important to clients that their suppliers and service providers remain capable of acting and can provide agreed services even in extraordinary situations. Thus, certification is also a strategic instrument for strengthening the market position.  <\/p><h2>Key Benefits of ISO 22301 Certification<\/h2><h3>More trust among customers and business partners<\/h3><p>Independent certification signals professionalism and a sense of responsibility. Customers recognize that the company actively deals with crisis and emergency scenarios and has established precautionary measures. This can be an important decision-making criterion, especially in the case of long-term business relationships.  <\/p><h3>Strengthening the company&#8217;s reputation<\/h3><p>The ISO 22301 certification underlines a company&#8217;s commitment to professional corporate governance and risk prevention. It shows that the organization is actively dealing with potential crises and their effects. This strengthens the perception as a responsible and resilient company, both among investors and authorities.  <\/p><h3>Competitive advantages in tenders<\/h3><p>More and more public clients and large companies are taking management system certifications into account in tenders. In some industries, such proof is even expressly required. ISO 22301 certification can therefore create a decisive competitive advantage and increase the chances of winning new contracts.  <\/p><h3>Support with compliance requirements<\/h3><p>Many legal, regulatory or contractual requirements require structured risk management and comprehensible emergency measures. The ISO 22301 certification supports companies in systematically implementing and proving corresponding requirements. <\/p><h2>For which companies is the certification particularly relevant?<\/h2><p>In principle, any organization can benefit from ISO 22301 certification. However, it is particularly valuable for companies whose business success depends heavily on the high availability of their processes. <\/p><p>These include, but are not limited to:<\/p><ul><li>IT  Cloud Service Providers<\/li><li>Data Centers<\/li><li>Financial Services<\/li><li>Logistics company<\/li><li>Production plants<\/li><li>Healthcare organizations<\/li><li>Telecommunications companies<\/li><li>Operators of critical infrastructures<\/li><li>Public Institutions<\/li><\/ul><p>However, medium-sized companies are also increasingly opting for certification in order to strengthen their market position and meet the requirements of larger customers.<\/p><h2>Why the demand for ISO 22301 certifications is growing<\/h2><p>Today, the business world is more connected than ever before. Supplier failures, cyber incidents or unexpected crises can have far-reaching consequences within a very short time. At the same time, there is increasing pressure from customers, authorities and business partners to provide reliable evidence of organizational resilience.  <\/p><p>The ISO 22301 certification has therefore developed from a special quality feature to a recognized proof of trust. Companies are increasingly using them to document their reliability and to position themselves as crisis-proof in a challenging market environment. <\/p><h2>Result<\/h2><p>ISO 22301 certification is becoming increasingly relevant for companies. It creates trust and documents an organization&#8217;s ability to remain capable of acting even under difficult conditions. In view of increasing risks and increasing requirements from customers and business partners, it is now much more than just a certificate for many companies \u2013 it is visible proof of professional corporate management and long-term resilience.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">Would you like to prepare for ISO 22301 certification and rely on experienced support?

Extreme weather events are having an increasing impact on locations, processes and supply chains. What was long considered primarily an environmental issue is now a central component of the corporate resilience strategy.<br\/>For companies, this means that climate risks must be identified at an early stage, assessed and integrated into risk management.  <\/p><h2>Climate risks at a glance<\/h2><p>Climate risks include all risks that arise for companies as a result of climate change. The consequences can have a direct or indirect impact on business operations and influence both operational processes and long-term corporate strategies. A distinction is made between three different types of risk.  <\/p><h3>Physical risks<\/h3><ul><li>Natural hazards and extreme weather events such as floods, storms, heat waves, droughts or forest fires<\/li><li>Impairment of critical supply structures such as electricity, water or telecommunications<\/li><li>Interruptions in transport and logistics processes and thus effects on supply chains due to failures at suppliers or transport routes<\/li><\/ul><h3>Transitory risks<\/h3><ul><li>New climate laws and stricter regulatory requirements<\/li><li>CO\u2082 pricing or other financial burdens from political measures<\/li><li>Sustainability, Disclosure and ESG Requirements<\/li><li>Market and competitive disadvantages due to inadequate preparation for new framework conditions<\/li><\/ul><h3>Financial risks<\/h3><ul><li>Direct costs due to damage to infrastructure, buildings or facilities<\/li><li>Loss of sales and earnings due to business interruptions or production losses<\/li><li>Additional investment and operating costs for adaptation, protection or decarbonisation measures<\/li><li>Rising insurance, energy, procurement and financing costs<\/li><\/ul><h2>Relevance for BCM &#038; the RKEG in Austria<\/h2><p>Climate risks are becoming increasingly important not only from a business perspective, but also in the regulatory environment. The Austrian Resilience of Critical Facilities Act (RKEG) has created a binding framework to strengthen the resilience of critical facilities to various hazards. The law expressly pursues an all-hazard approach that also includes natural hazards.  <\/p><p>For companies, this means that climate risks are not only an issue of sustainability or strategic planning for the future, but increasingly also an issue of resilience and regulatory precautions. Incorporating climate-related scenarios into risk analyses, emergency planning and restart concepts at an early stage not only strengthens your own resilience, but also creates a basis for meeting regulatory requirements. <\/p><h2>Integration with Risk Management: Part of Enterprise Risk Management<\/h2><p>Climate risks should not be considered in isolation, but should be anchored as an integral part of enterprise risk management. They relate to operational, financial, regulatory and strategic issues and must therefore be integrated into the company&#8217;s overarching risk management. <\/p><h2>Monitoring &#038; early warning systems: weather and climate data, risk analyses<\/h2><p>Effective management of climate risks requires that relevant developments are continuously monitored. Monitoring and early warning systems help to identify changes at an early stage and to better assess risks. These include, but are not limited to:  <\/p><ul><li>Weather and climate data<\/li><li>Location-based risk analyses<\/li><li>Supply chain dependency insights<\/li><li>regulatory developments and new reporting requirements<\/li><\/ul><p>The sooner potential dangers become visible, the better companies can initiate preventive measures. Early warning systems help to actively introduce risks into decision-making processes. <\/p><h2>Benefits of Proactive Planning<\/h2><p>Proactively addressing climate risks brings clear benefits to companies:<\/p><ul><li>Protecting employees<\/li><li>Securing critical supply chains<\/li><li>Reduction of financial damage<\/li><li>Faster and more structured response in the event of a crisis<\/li><li>Strengthening reputation and trust<\/li><li>Better decision-making basis for management and strategy<\/li><\/ul><p>Proactive planning means not only dealing with climate risks when damage has already occurred. Rather, it is a matter of creating transparency at an early stage, analysing scenarios and preparing measures. In this way, resilience is systematically built up \u2013 as an integral part of modern corporate management.  <\/p><h2>Result<\/h2><p>Climate risks have become a relevant field of action due to the increase in extreme weather events. Physical damage, regulatory changes, and financial impacts can significantly impact business operations, placing new demands on business continuity management and risk management. <\/p><p>Those who analyse and monitor climate risks at an early stage and integrate them into emergency and continuity concepts thus strengthen the resilience of the entire organisation.<\/p><p> <\/p><p><strong>Our practical case study shows how companies can analyze and evaluate climate risks in concrete terms.  <\/strong>In it, you will learn how we supported a client in analyzing climate-related risks in a structured way and classifying them into existing risk and resilience structures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4411e4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d4411e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8037550 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8037550\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bc-consulting.at\/en\/climate-risk-analysis-asfinag\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">To the case study<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate risks are playing an increasingly important role in BCM and risk management.

Why Critical Performance Becomes a Leadership Issue"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/letzprepare.public.lu\/en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221;<\/a> initiative is sending a clear signal in Luxembourg. Resilience has long since ceased to be an exclusively state task. Companies, administration, critical facilities, but also numerous organizations beyond formally defined critical infrastructure are responsible for ensuring that central services remain available even under exceptional conditions. Organizations are thus not only potentially affected by crises, but also supporting elements of national resilience in their own right.   <\/p>\n<p>Luxembourg&#8217;s resilience strategy takes up this idea. It makes it clear that stability and the ability to act in a highly networked society based on the division of labour can only be guaranteed if state provision, economic responsibility and organisational preparation are intertwined. Resilience does not arise in isolation, but in the interaction of public and private actors.  <\/p>\n<h2>Resilience takes center stage<\/h2>\n<p>With <strong>&#8220;L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221;,<\/strong> prevention is strategically re-anchored. Preparations for disruptions, emergencies and crises are no longer a marginal discipline, but part of modern governance. Resilience is thus becoming a cross-sectional task for the state, the economy and society.  <\/p>\n<p>This approach is contemporary and consistent. Recent years have shown that events rarely occur selectively or in isolation. They unfold their effect along dependencies, interfaces and systemic couplings. A cyberattack on a telecommunications or IT service provider not only affects the directly affected company, but in the worst case can impair the ability of entire social sectors or even a country to communicate and act. The consequences range from restrictions in administration, companies and critical infrastructures to noticeable effects for the population. In extreme cases, safety-relevant functions such as the accessibility of emergency services can be affected.     <\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the failure of central digital trust and identity services. If users, companies or administrations can no longer authenticate themselves, complete electronic procedures or use digital services, administrative processes come to a standstill, economic processes are delayed and public services are not available, at least temporarily. What begins operationally as a technical malfunction quickly develops into a systemic crisis with cascading effects.  <\/p>\n<p>These correlations make it clear that modern crisis preparedness must not look at risks according to responsibilities or sectors. It must systematically take into account interdependencies, critical paths, bottlenecks and potential single points of failure between the state, the economy, critical infrastructure and the population. This is precisely why the National Resilience Strategy emphasises an integrated, cross-departmental and cross-sectoral approach as a central prerequisite for effective preparedness.  <\/p>\n<p>Resilience therefore means more than restoration. At its core, it is about the ability to maintain critical functions even under stress, to make decisions and remain capable of acting, as well as to learn systematically from events. <\/p>\n<h2>Prevention is not exclusively a state task<\/h2>\n<p>The state creates legal and organizational frameworks, coordinates actors, protects central functions and ensures public safety. At the same time, the state&#8217;s ability to control reaches its limits where essential services are provided by private companies, municipal institutions or hybrid forms of organisation. Modern societies function through a dense network of public institutions, private companies, energy and utility companies, IT and cloud providers, financial systems, logistics structures and international supply chains. These systems are highly based on the division of labor, efficiently organized and thus also fragile in parts. Dependencies have often grown historically, are not fully documented and are hardly visible in normal operation.    <\/p>\n<p>Luxembourg&#8217;s resilience strategy addresses this reality. It understands resilience as a task for the whole of the state and society as a whole, which aims to secure the basic functions of the state, the vital interests of the country and the basic needs of the population, even under extraordinary burdens. The strategy combines civilian and military preparation and is based on several substantive pillars. These address, among other things, democratic and social stability, economic performance, security of supply, cyber resilience and the protection of essential goods, services and infrastructures.   <\/p>\n<p>A particular focus is placed on protecting vital functions, strengthening public-private cooperation and building a broad culture of preparedness and resilience. Resilience is not created by isolated individual measures, but by coordination, transparency about dependencies and the ability to remain capable of acting even under uncertainty. <\/p>\n<p>For organizations, this results in a clear conclusion. Anyone who provides critical services, is part of relevant value or supply chains, processes sensitive data or performs public tasks is themselves part of the national resilience architecture. <\/p>\n<p>This is not just about formally designated critical infrastructures. Medium-sized companies, IT service providers, logistics companies, municipalities, social agencies, financial service providers, healthcare organizations or specialized industrial suppliers can also develop systemic relevance in the event of a crisis. Therefore, it is not the formal classification of an organization that is decisive, but the effects that a failure of its services would have on other actors, on security of supply and on social stability as a whole.  <\/p>\n<h2>Organizations as supporting building blocks of societal resilience<\/h2>\n<p>This raises the crucial question for organizations as to how the claim of national resilience can be translated into concrete, verifiable precautionary measures. Resilience only becomes effective when it is clear which services must continue to run even under difficult conditions, which dependencies endanger these services and who makes decisions in the event of an incident. <\/p>\n<p>This is exactly where business continuity management, risk management, and emergency and crisis management come in. They translate abstract resilience requirements into concrete organizational capabilities: critical processes and threats are identified, dependencies are analyzed, restart targets are defined, replacement procedures are prepared, measures are established, responsibilities are clarified, and decision-making structures are created for extraordinary events. <\/p>\n<p>The aim is not to predict every conceivable crisis scenario. It is crucial to understand one&#8217;s own organization so well that it can prioritize and remain capable of acting even in the event of unexpected events. <\/p>\n<p>Especially in networked organizations, vulnerabilities often lie at interfaces, such as external IT service providers, cloud platforms, logistics partners, specialized suppliers, key people or communication channels that are not available in the event of an incident. In normal operation, such dependencies are often hardly noticeable. In a crisis, however, they can decide whether critical services can be continued or not.  <\/p>\n<p>An example makes this clear: If a central procedure fails in an administration, it is not just an IT problem. The decisive factors are which citizen services must continue to be provided, how decisions are documented, which manual replacement procedures exist, how employees are informed and when external bodies are to be involved. Technical restoration very quickly becomes a question of organization, leadership and communication.  <\/p>\n<p>Emergency and crisis management consistently complement BCM. While emergency management regulates the immediate response to a specific event, crisis management creates leadership ability in complex, dynamic or reputationally relevant situations. Only when they work together can a resilient pension system be created. Critical services are known, responsibilities have been clarified, communication channels have been prepared, replacement procedures have been described and crisis teams are capable of acting.   <\/p>\n<p>For managers, it is crucial to distinguish between formal preparation and actual ability to act. A plan that has never been tested remains an assumption. A restart strategy without coordination with the departments remains theoretical. A crisis team without practice loses valuable time in the event of an incident.   <\/p>\n<p>A pragmatic approach lies in a few central questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which services must continue?<\/li>\n<li>What dependencies do they endanger?<\/li>\n<li>Who decides when familiar structures are not available?<\/li>\n<li>How do you communicate when e-mail, telephony or internal platforms fail?<\/li>\n<li>When was the last realistic test of the existing emergency, crisis and recovery plans?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Especially in the context of &#8220;L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221;, it becomes clear that organizational resilience arises where strategic precaution is translated into concrete capabilities. Business continuity management, risk management, and emergency and crisis management are not isolated specialist topics, but components of an effective management and pension system. <\/p>\n<h2>Impulses beyond Luxembourg<\/h2>\n<p>The Luxembourg approach illustrates how national resilience can be anchored in a practical and impact-oriented way. The strength lies not only in the strategic framework, but above all in understanding precautionary measures as a joint task of the state, business, administration and organisations. In this way, &#8220;L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221; also offers a relevant impulse beyond Luxembourg. Not because national structures can be transferred unchanged to other countries, but because the underlying idea is universally valid.   <\/p>\n<p>Modern crisis preparedness must start where critical services are actually created, in the interaction of public authorities, private companies, critical institutions, digital service providers, supply chains and specialised organisations.<\/p>\n<p>The decisive factor is not only who is formally responsible, but which functions are essential for the state, the economy and the population, what dependencies support them and what consequences a failure would have for other actors. In this sense, the Luxembourg approach can be understood as a practical orientation framework. It makes it visible that resilience is effective where strategic guidelines, organizational responsibility and practiced ability to act intertwine.  <\/p>\n<p>The added value therefore lies not in simply adopting the model, but in the attitude behind it. Resilience arises from clear responsibilities, transparency about dependencies and the willingness to understand prevention as a continuous leadership, coordination and learning task. <\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: Resilience begins before the event<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221; offers an important and practical orientation framework for national precautions. It shows how resilience can be thought of holistically and effectively anchored beyond state structures. However, the actual effectiveness is decided in the organizations themselves, where critical services are consciously defined, dependencies are made transparent, decision-making processes are clarified and pension structures are regularly reviewed and further developed. Resilience is not a state and not a project with an end date. It is a continuous leadership and learning process.    <\/p>\n<p>Organizations that understand business continuity management as part of responsible governance not only increase their resilience to unforeseeable events. They create clarity, robustness and trust as well as a sustainable competitive advantage both in day-to-day operations and in exceptional cases. Prevention does not begin with the crisis. It begins with understanding one&#8217;s own role within a networked overall system.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bc-consulting.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/national-resilience-en.svg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bc-consulting.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/national-resilience-en.svg\" alt=\"Venn National Resilience Chart with eight pillars of civil and military preparedness, as well as common areas such as cyber resilience, civil defense, and resource management.\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1190\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 4ea56e6e-ce01-4302-a4b1-f69af3737ff8 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;L\u00ebtz Prepare!&#8221; initiative is sending a clear signal in Luxembourg.

Technologies such as artificial intelligence or drone systems open up new opportunities for abusive applications, while climate risks also lead to increased uncertainty. At the same time, already known risk scenarios, such as blackouts and cyberattacks, continue to pose a threat to regular business operations. Consequently, it is not enough to only take action in the event of a crisis. Companies must be specifically prepared to be able to react immediately and effectively to critical situations.    \n\nThis is exactly where business continuity management (BCM) comes in. It is a structured process model that ensures that business-critical activities are continued or restored as quickly as possible even in the event of process failures. The goal is not only to avoid process failures, but also to minimize failures and financial losses, as well as to strengthen trust in the company.  \n<h2>From Uncertainty to Certainty: Systematically Recording Risks<\/h2>\nA well-founded risk analysis with the recording of all relevant risk scenarios is an important step in obtaining an overview of possible risks and their effects. First, a catalogue of scenarios documents company-specific risk scenarios that can have a negative impact on operational business operations. Examples of this are intentional risk scenarios such as sabotage of infrastructure, natural events such as floods and technical disruptions, for example due to communication failures.  \n\nIn the next step, the probabilities of occurrence and the potential effects in defined damage categories, such as financial or life and limb, are evaluated. This results in a risk picture, which serves as a starting point for developing measures that reduce the probability and\/or potential damage of the risks. \n<h2>Business Impact Analysis: Focus on Critical Processes<\/h2>\nThe Business Impact Analysis (BIA) examines how time-critical the business processes are for operational operations and in what time they have to function again in order to avert greater damage. In addition, it is examined which resources, such as IT systems or employees, are relevant for the processes and what workarounds exist in the event that the resources fail. \n\nThe results of the BIA are backed up by metrics such as recovery times (RTO), possible data loss tolerances (RPO), and maximum tolerable downtime (MTPD). This makes it clear which processes are particularly time-critical and need to be robustly secured. \n<h2>Developing emergency strategies: From concept to operational implementation<\/h2>\nThe findings from the risk analysis and the BIA are used to develop detailed emergency plans that clearly specify what to do in an emergency. The emergency plans describe responsibilities, contact lists, communication requirements and instructions for restarting affected processes. \n\nIn addition, checklists are included that enable immediate action to be taken immediately. This enables simplified crisis management that keeps the risk of hasty decisions low. \n<h2>Reality check for BCM: Practice, evaluate, optimize<\/h2>\nIn order to put the BCM to the test, the regular implementation of crisis exercises is indispensable. There are different exercise formats, such as simulation games or Group-wide crisis exercises, which require rapid action by several stakeholders. \n\nThis ensures that plans not only exist in theory, but are also helpful in practice. At the same time, they contribute to increased crisis awareness in the company and test the stress capacity of those involved. \n<h2>Conclusion &#8211; Shaping resilience, securing the future<\/h2>\nAn efficient and well-maintained BCM is much more than an annoying implementation of regulations. Establishing a BCM ensures that a company is prepared for crises. It ensures the continuation of operations, strengthens confidence in the company and ensures that legal requirements are implemented. In an uncertain world, BCM thus becomes a strategic success factor that not only protects companies, but also increases competitiveness in the long term.   \n\nWould you like to check your company&#8217;s BCM through a maturity check, develop it further in a targeted manner, or are you still at the beginning and planning to set up a BCM?

Gaining a comprehensive view of the risk landscape often requires a significant amount of manual effort.  <\/p><p>Business impact analysis reveals another problem: processes are often viewed in isolation. While dependencies between processes, resources, or locations are known, they are difficult to represent in a structured way in tables. As a result, criticality levels are not always directly comparable, and analyses become complex and prone to errors.  <\/p><p>The result is similar in both cases: no coherent, reliable overall picture emerges.<\/p><p>A typical scenario from real life:<\/p><p><strong>Several versions of the same analysis are in circulation, adapted by different departments, each with slightly different evaluation criteria.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why structured Excel approaches are difficult to scale<\/strong><\/h2><p>The challenge here is not that Excel is being used \u201cincorrectly.\u201d On the contrary: many organizations have clear structures and well-thought-out procedures in place.

The focus is no longer on individual analyses, but on questions such as: <\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Where do we stand as an organization in terms of risks and criticalities?<\/li><li>Which dependencies are particularly critical?<\/li><li>Where is there a concrete need for action?<\/li><li>How resilient are our decision-making bases?<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <\/div><p>A table-based approach can only answer these questions to a limited extent.

On this basis, critical institutions are obliged to carry out their own risk analyses and implement resilience measures.  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Companies have nine months after the decision is issued to carry out these risk analyses for the first time and ten months to define resilience measures for the first time. The CER describes the need for critical infrastructures to assess risks that may disrupt the provision of their essential services. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.gv.at\/dokument\/XXVIII\/I\/186\/fnameorig_1700388.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <strong>CER <\/strong><\/a>defines risks as all relevant natural and man-made risks, including accidents, natural disasters, hostile threats and public health emergencies, such as pandemics (all-hazard approach). Resilience measures that must be taken for the physical protection of the critical facility are technical, security and organisational measures, the preparation of a resilience plan and the appointment of a liaison officer. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>BC Consulting has been helping companies to become more resilient and carry out risk analyses for several years. The innovative bcNAVIGATOR software has also been developed for this purpose, which significantly simplifies this process and saves resources.

Each critical facility can adapt and configure the hazard catalog individually to its own needs.
