Organizational activities are the actions and processes that an organization performs to achieve its objectives and deliver its products and services. These activities are exposed to innumerable threats that have the potential to compromise the achievement of corporate goals. These threats can be internal orexternal, natural or man-made, intentional or accidental, and can affect the organization’s resources, capabilities, reputation, and continuity. Some examples of threats that can disrupt organizational activities are:

• Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, storms, fires, or pandemics
• Cyber-attacks, such as hacking, malware, ransomware, denial-of-service, or data breaches
• Human errors, such as mistakes, negligence, or miscommunication
• Malicious acts, such as sabotage, theft, fraud, vandalism, or terrorism
• Supply chain issues, such as delays, shortages, quality problems, or contractual disputes
• Regulatory changes, such as new laws, standards, or policies that affect the organization’s operations or compliance
• Market changes, such as shifts in customer demand, preferences, or expectations, or increased competition or innovation
• Social changes, such as changes in demographics, culture, values, or behaviors that affect the organization’s stakeholders or environment To protect against these threats and ensure the continuity of organizational activities, organizations need to implement a business continuity management system (BCMS) that follows the requirements of ISO 22301. A BCMS is a set of policies, procedures, and practices that enable an organization to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions when they arise. A BCMS helps an organization to identify its critical activities, assess the risks and impacts of potential disruptions, develop strategies and plans to mitigate and manage the disruptions, and test and improve the effectiveness of the BCMS. By implementing a BCMS, an organization can enhance its resilience, reduce its losses, and maintain its reputation and customer satisfaction. References: : What is ISO 22301 standard and what is its purpose? : Building Business Resilience: A Guide to ISO 22301 Certification : ISO 22301:2019(en), Security and resilience ?

Regulatory compliance is the adherence to laws, regulations, guidelines and specifications relevant to an organization’s business processes. It has always been a challenge to organizations since it has a significant influence on corporate planning, such as strategic objectives, policies, procedures, risk management, performance measurement and improvement. Regulatory compliance can also affect the organization’s reputation, customer satisfaction, stakeholder confidence and legal liability. Therefore, organizations need to establish, implement, maintain and improve a business continuity management system (BCMS) that meets the requirements of ISO 22301 and other applicable regulations. References: ISO 22301 Auditing eBook, Chapter 1: Introduction to Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), Section 1.2: Regulatory Compliance, page 9.

A personal interview is a type of interview that employs verbal questioning as its principal technique of data collection. It is a face-to-face conversation between the interviewer and the interviewee, where the interviewer asks open-ended or closed-ended questions to obtain information from the interviewee. A personal interview can be conducted in various settings, such as at the interviewee’s workplace, home, or a neutral location. A personal interview can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured, depending on the level of flexibility and standardization of the questions. A personal interview can be used for different purposes, such as to assess the interviewee’s competence, motivation, attitude, or opinion on a certain topic. A personal interview can also be used to establish rapport, trust, and credibility between the interviewer and the interviewee. A personal interview can have various advantages and disadvantages, such as:

Advantages:

• It allows the interviewer to observe the interviewee’s body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice, which can provide additional insights into the interviewee’s feelings, emotions, and reactions.
• It enables the interviewer to probe deeper into the interviewee’s responses, clarify ambiguities, and ask follow-up questions to obtain more detailed and comprehensive information.
• It gives the interviewer the opportunity to adapt the questions and the pace of the interview according to the interviewee’s level of knowledge, interest, and responsiveness.
• It can increase the interviewee’s willingness to participate, cooperate, and disclose information, as the interviewer can establish a personal connection and a positive atmosphere with the interviewee.
• It can reduce the possibility of misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or distortion of the information, as the interviewer can verify and confirm the interviewee’s answers immediately.

Disadvantages:

• It can be time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive, as it requires the interviewer to travel to the interviewee’s location, schedule the interview, and conduct the interview.
• It can be influenced by various biases, such as the interviewer’s expectations, preferences, stereotypes, or prejudices, which can affect the interviewer’s choice of questions, interpretation of answers, and evaluation of the interviewee.
• It can be affected by various factors, such as the interviewer’s skills, personality, appearance, or mood, which can influence the interviewer’s performance, behavior, and interaction with the interviewee.
• It can be subject to various errors, such as the interviewer’s memory, recall, or transcription errors, which can result in the loss, omission, or alteration of the information.
• It can pose various challenges, such as the interviewer’s difficulty in maintaining control, neutrality, or objectivity, or the interviewee’s reluctance, resistance, or dishonesty, which can hinder the quality and validity of the information.
