Organizational Certification

Resilient Enterprise & Center of Excellence in Resilience

Long the leader in certifying individuals, DRI International now offers accreditation for organizations with the Resilient Enterprise and Center of Excellence in Resilience designations, as well as assessment of organizational resilience with the Resilient Enterprise Assessment Program (REAP). Recognizing organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to preparedness and resiliency, DRI International offers two organizational accreditations: Resilient Enterprise and Center of Excellence in Resilience. Resilient Enterprise and ISO22301 certifications may be awarded when the organization's requirements comply with ISO22301. An ISO22301 specific REAP will be used to validate the organization's conformity with the standard.

            Resilient Enterprises
            Demonstrate extraordinary commitment to business continuity management (BCM), including emergency management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and crisis management.

Eligibility Requirements

The Resilient Enterprise designation follows stringent accreditation criterion that identifies core factors of extraordinary commitment and demonstrated capability to advocate for resilience. Organizations seeking accreditation must demonstrate preparedness by contributing personnel, materials, technical, and management advice.

Approval Process

An extensive approval process and qualifying protocols help to ensure the appropriate level of knowledge and proficiency of an entity's BCM program; including an onsite inspection of the company, credentials, ethical practices, and BCM training records/documentation, followed by an interview. Each assessment team will be led by a Certified Business Continuity Lead Auditor (CBCLA) with extensive audit experience.
