Abstract ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, through their Technical Committee 292 (formerly 223) has developed a range of standards in the continuity and resilience fields. Developed by experts from dozens of countries and adopted by a solid majority of national standards associations, these standards advance the profession by providing practitioners, regulators, management and customers with valuable implementation and auditing tools. Find out about the deliverables provided by this Technical Committee and how they may support you.
Why Standards? Standards serve to raise the level of competencies of involved parties Standards help understand involved parties’ degree of preparation and maturity Standards help training of key personnel Standards enable certification of organizations against publicly accepted criteria International standards enable global organizations to achieve compliance in a number of jurisdictions Management system standards enable a continuous improvement
Before ISO standards Many countries had local standards (UK, US, Israel, Singapore, Australia,…) Many countries had no standards (Switzerland, Germany,…) International organizations faced uncertainties British standard BS25999 served as de facto international standard
Basic principles of ISO Equal representation: one vote per country Voluntary membership: ISO does not have the authority to force adoption of its standards Business orientation: ISO only develops standards for which a market demand exists Consensus approach: looking for a large consensus among the different stakeholders International Corporation: over 160 member countries plus liaison bodies
How is ISO working? ISO is a network of national standardization bodies from about 160 countries The final results of ISO developments are published as International Standards Over 20,000 standards have been published since 1947 Standards are sold via www.iso.org or national standards associations Table of contents of most standards can be viewed
History of ISO/TC 292 Amalgamation of three technical committees: ISO/TC 223 Societal security (2001-2014) ISO/TC 247 Fraud countermeasures and controls (2009-2014) ISO/PC 284 Management system for quality of PSC operations (2013-2014) In June 2014 the Technical management Board of ISO (TMB) took the decision to create a new ISO Technical committee called ISO/TC 292 where three committees were merged into one.

Conclusions Standards… serve to promote good practices allow an assessment of a situation may serve as a base for certification serve to promote confidence in suppliers take some time to for their development reflect the knowledge of a range of subject matter experts facilitate international operations and trade may serve as minimum requirements as prescribed by a regulator
