What is the focus of the ASIS International Crisis Management and Business Continuity Council?

The focus of the ASIS International Crisis Management and Business Continuity Council is specifically on offering tools and resources for planning and response during crises. This involves developing strategies, frameworks, and best practices that organizations can use to prepare for, respond to, and recover from various types of crises, including natural disasters, cyber incidents, and other disruptions.

The council aims to provide valuable insights and materials that help organizations to minimize the impact of crises on their operations, ensure the safety of personnel, and maintain business continuity. This emphasis on practical tools and resources is essential for organizations to effectively navigate challenging situations and protect their assets and stakeholders.

In contrast, providing entertainment during crises does not address the serious and strategic nature of crisis management, while regulating security practices across all industries falls outside the council’s specific mission of crisis response and business continuity. Promoting social events in the security field, although beneficial for networking, does not align with the urgent operational focus of managing crises and ensuring organizational resilience.
