Organizational certification is relatively new to the business continuity profession, and with the introduction and increasing momentum of the PS-Prep program, the popularity and business value associated with certification is certain to increase in organizations across the U.S.
None the less, each organization must consider the costs and benefits of aligning to a standard and becoming certified. While a growing number of organizations are pursuing certification, many are not prepared for the commitment it requires. Having successfully helped organizations achieve certification, as well as recently experiencing the process ourselves, our team is prepared to provide you with the information you need to make the right choice for your organization.
Management Advisory
Our team always welcomes a conversation about how certification or alignment to a standard can benefit your organization. If your organization chooses to proceed, Avalution resources can provide expert, experienced guidance throughout the preparation and audit processes.
Business Continuity Audit and Benchmarking
Avalution's audit and benchmarking service provides an in depth look at your program, and compares it to one or more standards, peers in the industry, and Avalution's own set of leading practices. This service is time and cost-efficient, and is a great way to develop a roadmap for moving your program forward. When focused on a single, certifiable standard, Avalution’s audit process is an excellent way of measuring readiness for the certification process.
