Establishing Business Continuity Management System
Keep your operations running even during natural disasters, cyberattacks, and other unforeseen events
Don’t leave your business’s future to chance
A business continuity management system (BCMS) enables your business to remain operational during and after disruptions. Whether you're facing a natural disaster or another unforeseen crisis, a BCMS equips you to respond effectively and minimize downtime.
When you partner with InterRisk Asia for business continuity management system consulting, we assess your risks, create contingency plans, and ensure your business is ready for whatever challenges come your way.
Key risks Southeast Asian businesses must consider:
Natural disasters
- Earthquake risks are high in regions near plate boundaries or active faults (e.g., Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar).
- Storm and flood risk are extremely high in river basins such as the Mekong and Chao Phraya Rivers.
- Emerging infectious diseases can spread quickly across all regions.
Other potential disasters
- Fire/explosions increase in production facilities with aging equipment or poor safety measures.
- Labor disputes can arise due to welfare demands or cultural conflicts.
- Internal fraud leads to financial loss and erodes trust with business partners.
- Compliance risks due to failure to comply with local industry regulations can lead to suspension of operations.
