领先的风险和合规软件和服务公司NavexGlobal®.已经概述了商业领袖和决策者的七个关键因素，准备他们的组织返回工作场所。
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought organisations to a virtual standstill, prompting immediate updates to business plans and the mass-adoption of unfamiliar working practices. As we emerge from lockdown, maintaining data security standards, remaining vigilant of increased or emerging risks, and ensuring workers can easily adapt to a new way of working will be vitally important. Here are some key risk and compliance considerations for businesses preparing their next move:
1.实施逐步回报工作场所With most of the world having been in lockdown, remote working rules are already well established in many organisations. But any return to the workplace is unlikely to mean a return to normality. You may need to create a working rota to avoid physical contact, draft and distribute newpolicies and proceduresto your workforce, and make sure your employees attest to the new standards and procedures.
2.部署安全的网络访问渠道根据2020年1月发布的一份报告身份盗窃资源中心, four out of five data breaches in 2019 were caused by hacking or unauthorised access. A continuation of remote working for parts of your workforce will require your employees to access sensitive data, meaning a secure network access channel is vital. An encrypted network and cloud-based data storage are therefore ‘must-haves’ for your business.
3. Revisit your Business Continuity PlanTo be truly resilient, a business continuity plan must account for the organisation’s present, not its past. As the pandemic environment has demonstrated, relying on an obsolete business continuity plan can be more dangerous than having no plan at all, as it can provide a false sense of security. Indeed aCompliance Week survey揭示了10％的受访者表示，他们的公司为大流行做好了良好。全球流行病的前所未有的性质可能意味着您当前的连续性计划需要立即关注 - 特别是第二次或第三次感染袭击。开始研究新的，以适应当前的，可能的未来情况。
4.监控和调整计划Crucially, all risk must be continuously monitored, with plans updated to reflect any and all changes. Business processes are necessarily fluid, as are the broader circumstances surrounding them. Vendors, suppliers, staff and resources change over time, impacting business operations and logistics. Similarly, world events such as a pandemic and geopolitical changes can alter an organization’s processes. Ensure you have implemented a robust风险管理解决方案that provides ongoing visibility of such risks, and look for opportunities to automate wherever possible to maximise efficiency.
5. Communication, Communication, CommunicationKeeping employees up to date on emerging threats and changing circumstances - and the company’s response to them - is of the utmost importance. Throughout the early days of the pandemic, some organisations struggled to ramp up communications to their workforce – particularly within businesses where workers did not have access to digital communication tools. Colleagues need reassurance from their employers, so try to establish effective, accessible tools for communicating to your entire workforce, and try to establish a regular, predictable cadence of updates.
6. Consider Third Party Due Diligence risksEven in this extraordinary situation companies are still legally liable for their own compliance failures and, in many situations, within their supply chains. Market change generate opportunities for fraud or bribery and corruption weak spots to enter the supply chain and, with organisations working quickly to bring on new vendors, it’s vital that vigilance remains high. With many colleagues still working remotely for the foreseeable future, implementing a中央监控枢纽to undertake the necessary due diligence activity will become even more valuable.
7.准备长期中断大流行的本质意味着它几乎不可能知道它将结束，以及eBB和流动将是什么。您的业务必须保持灵活性，不断变化，锁定规则正在不同的严重程度，以及世界各地的不同程度。您的业务连续性计划应该是一个生活文件，在需要时改变和适应情况 - 所以确保经常重新审视。
