Business Continuity Planning Asia Pte Ltd (BCP Asia) reiterates its position as the region’s most trusted and reliable “Business Continuity Management (BCM) partner” as it becomes the first training and consultancy firm in Asia to be certified for ISO22301:2012.
This was confirmed today by the Singapore-based audit and certification firm Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), which performed the stringent process of verifying BCP Asia’s effective transition to the new international BCM standard.
Henry Ee, Managing Director of BCP Asia, also explained that the main purpose of the endeavour was to highlight the most critical step to establishing businesses resiliency today.
“Being the first to attain an ISO223010-certifcation in this industry is indeed an honour that we hold in high esteem. However, where we really get a sense of accomplishment from is the fact that we were able to set the direction for organisations in Asia by exemplifying which step is crucial to establishing business resiliency today,” he said.
As for the benefits of attaining an ISO22301 certification, Henry explained that for BCP Asia it means providing quality services to their clients.
“Attaining an ISO22301-certication not only demonstrates our commitment to providing our clients with top quality training and consultancy services, but also with highly relevant tips and reliable information. You can’t teach what you don’t know – it is as simple as that. So we went through the certification process to have firsthand knowledge on the various challenges involved and how to overcome them effectively,” he said.
Prior to the ISO22301:2012 certification, BCP Asia was also the first company worldwide to attain dual certification for British Standard BS25999:2007 and the Singapore Standard SS540:2008 in 2009. Since then, the company has further progressed to also provide services relevant to BCM.
“At BCP Asia, we believe that in order to survive in today’s very challenging business environment, one must integrate various disciplines such as Crisis Management, Disaster Recovery and Enterprise Risk Management to BCM. Attaining an ISO22031:2012 certification truly attests to this, and we hope that have sent a clear message of what we are prepared to provide our much valued clients,” he added.
