Definition & Explanation

A logistics facility with BCM maturity level 1 might have emergency plans written but lacks systematic risk assessment and regular testing. At level 4 or 5, business continuity is deeply embedded in organizational culture, governance is established, staff is trained, testing occurs regularly, and improvements are implemented continuously. The BCM maturity level represents an organization's capability to anticipate disruptions and respond swiftly, evaluated against frameworks such as ISO 22301. This assessment helps enterprises understand their current state and prioritize targeted improvements in resilience.
