BCR-01: Business Continuity Management Policy and Procedures
Business Continuity Management Policy and Procedures
BCR-01: Are business continuity management and operational resilience policies and procedures established, documented, approved, communicated, applied, evaluated, and maintained?

The policies should include defined roles and responsibilities supported by regular workforce training.


The policies should:
a. Be appropriate to the organization’s purpose.
b. Provide a framework for setting business continuity objectives.
c. Include a commitment to satisfy applicable requirements and continual improvement.
d. Include organizational risk appetite and tolerance to facilitate appropriate planning, delivery, and support of capabilities in the event of a business disruption.
e. Take guidance from industry standards, such as ISO 22300.


Not applicable - A “N/A” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is out of scope of the assessment. The “SSRM control ownership” column is to be left blank (e.g., greyed out), and optionally the CSP may explain why it is the case (“CSP Implementation Description”).
No - A “No” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is not implemented, while in scope of the assessment. The CSP has to assign the implementation responsibility of the control to the relevant party under column “SSRM control ownership”, and optionally elaborate on the “why” (has not been implemented), and “what” has to be done for its implementation by that party.
Yes - A “Yes” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is implemented. The CSP indicates the responsible and accountable parties (SSRM control ownership), and optionally elaborates on the implementation “how-to” per relevant party CSP and/or CSC.
CSP-owned - The CSP is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
CSC-owned - The Cloud Service Customer (CSC) is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
Third-party - The third-party CSP in the supply chain (e.g., an IaaS provider) is responsible for CCM control implementation, while the CSP is fully accountable.
Shared CSP and CSC - Both the CSP and CSC share CCM control implementation responsibility and accountability.
Shared CSP and third party - Any CCM control implementation responsibility is shared between CSP and the third party, but the CSP remains fully accountable.
Description

Establish, document, approve, communicate, apply, evaluate and maintain business continuity management and operational resilience policies and procedures. Review and update the policies and procedures at least annually.
