Almost perfect timing for BS ISO 31030:2021 Guidance for organizations

It has taken nearly ten years for an idea shared at a British Standards meeting in London to grow and develop into a full International Standard. The story of how the standard emerged is a great example of how industry professionals can work together to share experience and build solutions that can help address serious issues. The new guidance from ISO and the BSI sets a new standard for travel risk management that will help organizations of all types get back to work and build business travel confidence.

Modern business takes our people all over the world, but for some the experience of the jet set lifestyle can quickly transform into a nightmare if things go wrong. A serious illness, traffic accident, mugging or theft can quickly throw a business travellers’ plans into chaos and expose them and their employer to even greater risks and potential harm. Yet most business travellers and their employers these risks are rarely thought through, and this leads many struggling to cope when the inevitable happens. This happens to hundreds of thousands of people each year, but it doesn’t have to be this way and in a post-covid world we must do more to minimise travel risk of all types.

The ISO Technical Committee for ISO 19600 relating to Compliance Management is preparing to discuss whether a revision of this standard should take place and, if so, how it can be improved.

To support this review a survey has been developed to gain feedback from both users and non-users of the standard looking at compliance management. You can help contribute to the decision making process by providing feedback and opinion by following the link below:

LINK TO ISO 19600 SURVEY

The scope of ISO 19600

The International Standard ISO 19600:2014 Compliance management systems – Guidelines were published in 2014 as a Management System Standard. The standard does not specify requirements, but provides guidance on compliance management systems and recommended practices.

ISO 19600 can be used by numerous standards covering Risk, Information Technology, Business Continuity and Resilience Management to identify just a few. The guidance it provides is intended to be adaptable, and the use of this guidance can differ depending on the size and level of maturity of an organization’s compliance management system and on the context, nature and complexity of the organizations activities, including its compliancy policy and objectives.

You do not need to be a user of ISO standards either as the flexibility provided through the guidance can help with other processes or management systems. ISO 19600:2014 is based on the principles of good governance, proportionality, transparency and sustainability.

The deadline for completing the survey is Monday 16^th April 2018.
