The new ANSI/ASIS Standard, Security and Resilience in Organizations and Their Supply Chains (ORM.1), provides a systematic, jurisdictional, country-neutral approach to identify, assess, and manage risks related to an organization’s operations and its supply chain.
ASIS members are entitled to one free download of all standards and guidelines—an exclusive member benefit.
ASIS Standards and Guidelines Commission Liaison Lisa DuBrock notes the importance of this approach because, “…in today’s increasingly complex and unstable global environments, the question is not if the security administrator is called upon to support the full spectrum of the standard, but when.”
Please note: The ORM.1 replaces two legacy ASIS standards that had been up for review: the ANSI/ASIS Organizational Resilience: Security, Preparedness and Continuity Management Systems (SPC.1) and ANSI/ASIS/BSI Business Continuity Management Standard (BCM.1).
Said DuBrock, “While the SPC.1 emphasized mitigation strategies for security and resilience and the BCM.1 standard emphasized traditional response recovery strategies, the ORM.1 provides an integrated risk-based approach to bring both disciplines together with an added emphasis on supply chain resilience.”
DuBrock will discuss the new ORM.1 standard at an ASIS 2017 education session, Use Security and Resilience Management to Mitigate Organizational Risk, on Tuesday, September 26.
