scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for a resilience management policy in the supply chain to enable an organization to develop and implement policies, objectives, and programs taking into account: . Legal, regulatory and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, . information about significant risks, hazards and threats that may have consequences to the organization, its stakeholders, and on its supply chain; . protection of its assets and processes; and . management of disruptive incidents. This Standard applies to risks that the organization identifies as those it can control, influence, or reduce, as well as those it cannot anticipate. It does not itself state specific performance criteria. This Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to: a) Establish, implement, maintain, and improve a resilience management policy for the organization and its supply chain; b) Assure itself of its conformity with its stated resilience management policy; c) Demonstrate their management system contains a well developed Resiliency Management Policy by: 1) Making a self-determination and self-declaration; or 2) Seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization (such as customers); or 3) Seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization; or 4) Seeking certification/registration of that management system by an external organization. All the requirements in this Standard are intended to be incorporated into any type of the organization's management system that is based on the PCDA model. This standard provides the elements (including those addressing technology, facilities, processes, and people) required for this incorporation. The extent of the application of this Standard will depend on factors such as the risk tolerance and policy of the organization; the nature and scale of its activities, products, and services; and the location where, and the conditions in which, the organization functions. This Standard provides generic requirements as a framework, applicable to all types of organizations (or parts thereof) regardless of size and function in the supply chain. This Standard provides guidance for organizations to develop their own specific performance criteria, enabling the organization to tailor and implement a resilience management system appropriate to its needs and those of its stakeholders.
