Disadvantages of NOT being Certified
Organizations are more susceptible to operational disruptions without a structured approach to business continuity, affecting their ability to respond effectively to incidents.
Disruptions can lead to significant financial losses due to downtime, loss of sales, and increased recovery costs.
Failing to manage disruptions can result in reputational harm, leading to loss of customer trust and business opportunities.
Organizations may face penalties for failing to meet industry-specific business continuity and disaster recovery requirements.
Without a BCMS, organisations may not be adequately prepared for emergencies, leading to delayed recovery and ineffective response to incidents.
