Facing uncertainties in businesses is inevitable, causing many of companies to operate on the edge!

Risks affecting organizations can have consequences in terms of economic performance and professional reputation, as well as environmental, safety and societal outcomes. Therefore, managing risk effectively helps organizations to perform well in an environment full of uncertainty.

The term “Risk” can be defined as the probability or threat of damage which may come from both internal and external sources, therefore; many definitions of risk management are known but can be summed up with: the process of identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks in order to managing them before affecting the business.

So; any organization always needs to recognize and describe what risks surrounds its business, and then determine the likelihood and severity of each to evaluate and rank them appropriately and to be able to plan the most effective responses, followed by monitoring.

A number of worldwide standards have been developed to provide organizations with methods to implement risk management systematically and effectively, and one of those are which is designed to upgrade the identification of opportunities and threats, level-up the probability of consummating objectives, and effectively utilize resources for risk treatment – ISO 31000.

ISO 31000:2018, Risk management – Guidelines, provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size, activity or sector.

AAC MENA/ Aswar Akka Consultancy covers both practical and theoretical courses related to risk management including ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager Course. Also, AAC has the ability to provide comprehensive consultation to all types of organizations in order to define, analyze, prioritize, and treat internal and external risks.

Jan 21 • 3 min read

The consequences of unsafe food can be serious and ISO’s food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards. ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any organization in the food chain, farm to fork. Becoming certified to ISO 22000 allows a company to show their customers that they have a Food Safety Management System in place. This provides customer confidence in the product. This is becoming more and more important as customers demand safe food and food processors require that ingredients obtained from their suppliers to be safe.

ISO 22000 Consultation in Jordan

If you are looking for ISO 22000 consultation in Jordan, you are at the right place! AAC MENA is one of the best providers to obtain the ISO 22000 certificate for your industry in Jordan at an affordable price. AAC MENA is known for ensuring customer satisfaction and business improvement.

What does ISO 22000 require?

ISO 22000 requires that you build a Food Safety Management System. This means that you will have a documented system in place and fully implemented throughout your facility that includes:

Effective Prerequisite Programs in place to ensure a clean sanitary environment.
A Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Plan developed to identify, prevent and eliminate food safety hazards.
Established documented Food Safety Management System processes to manage food safety throughout your organization from management and business planning aspects to day to day communication and operations affecting food safety.

Benefits to ISO 22000 Certification for your Organization

Demonstrates your ongoing commitment to food safety.
Proves your integrity to the market.
Enhances consumer confidence in your brand.

ISO 22000-2005 versus ISO 22000-2018

In response to changes to diversity, globalization, and digitization across the industry, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently announced a revision to its ISO 22000 standard which governs food safety management systems. First proposed over four years ago, this revision impacts organizations large and small.

ISO 22000:2018 represents a new approach to risk that distinguishes between the operational and business level of the management system. The revision is also more closely tied to the Codex Alimentarius, a collection of internationally recognized standards put forward by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.

There are a few important things to understand about the revision:

The new version of ISO 22000 will follow the same structure as all other ISO management system standards, making compliance easier for those organizations already certified to other standards.
The revision adopts a new approach to understand risk, one in which both internal and external risks are examined, put into appropriate organizational context, and paired with an effective risk treatment plan.
The revisions include clarifications to the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle by outlining two cycles that work together: one to cover the management system and the other to cover the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This underscores the importance for business to distinguish hazard assessment at the operational level separately from business risks identification and mitigation.

Conclusion

As a leader in consultation services, AAC MENA offers unrivaled experience and expertise in ISO 22000 requirements. Our presence in the Middle East and harmonized approach give you access to the largest independent network of consultants and advisory services in the region.

What is ISO 37001?

Bribery is one of the world’s most destructive and challenging issues. With over US$ 1 trillion paid in bribes each year, the consequences are catastrophic, reducing quality of life, increasing poverty and eroding public trust. Yet despite efforts on national and international levels to tackle bribery, it remains a significant issue. Recognizing this, ISO has developed a new standard to help organizations fight bribery and promote an ethical business culture. It is designed to help your organization implement an anti-bribery management system, or enhance the controls you currently have. It helps to reduce the risk of bribery occurring and can demonstrate to your stakeholders that you have put in place internationally recognized good-practice anti-bribery controls.

Who is ISO 37001 for?

ISO 37001 can be used by any organization, large or small, whether it be in the public, private or voluntary sector, and in any country. It is a flexible tool, which can be adapted according to the size and nature of the organization and the bribery risk it faces.

Why ISO 37001?

Doing international business can be like navigating a gator-infested swamp. Real pitfalls can lurk anywhere in the business cycle. Potential liability can result from the actions of agents, business partners, family, or well-meaning friends. ISO 37001 offers tools to help protect against hazards while providing competitive advantages to help grow markets and revenues.

ISO 37001 adoption by the private sector (internally and through the supply chain) and the public sector (in procurement) will reduce bribery risk and lower costs.
ISO 37001 certification can provide an effective way for companies to monitor and verify the anti-bribery activities of their suppliers.
ISO 37001 includes a number of internal business management processes that can lead to compliance stream-lining and cost-cutting.
In a bid process, being ISO 37001 compliant is competitive advantage over those who are not.

Three Reasons to Seek Certification

The ISO standard provides your company with practical guidance: The standard helps you put theory into practice. As an operational document, it outlines practical guidelines on how to enhance your compliance program, such as establishing financial and non-financial controls, tailoring your compliance training to the specific risks your company faces, and targeting the right employee groups with the right type of training, etc.
Adhering to the ISO requirements provides you with a powerful defense: In the event of misconduct or a compliance breach, you can prove that you have already established robust documentation procedures, and you can document the thoroughness of your anti-bribery program. The certification indicates that you are actively involving all parts of the organization in an overall compliance effort, from top management and the governing body to the compliance department. More importantly, it shows that top management are overseeing adequate implementation of the organization’s anti-bribery system management.
ISO certification greatly enhances your reputation as an ethical business: While the ISO doesn’t have any prosecutorial authority, achieving the certification gives your company an enviable image of trustworthiness. Adhering to the standard demonstrates your commitment to ethical business and to fighting corruption. You’re making it clear that your organization — including any employee or third party doing business for you or with you — does not tolerate corrupt practices.

The ISO 37001 is a global standard for business, outlining the elements expected of a good compliance program. Certification is voluntary, and renewed every three years. During this certification period, a company must undergo an annual surveillance review. The certification, however, is not the goal; the point is to achieve an effective anti-bribery program. While getting an ISO certification may not be an end in itself, it does come with several important benefits for your organization.

ISO 37001 Requirements

ISO 37001 specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an anti-bribery management system. The system can be stand-alone or can be integrated into an overall management system. ISO 37001:2016 addresses the following in relation to the organization’s activities:

bribery in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
bribery by the organization.
bribery by the organization’s personnel acting on the organization’s behalf or for its benefit.
bribery by the organization’s business associates acting on the organization’s behalf or for its benefit.
bribery of the organization.
bribery of the organization’s personnel in relation to the organization’s activities.
bribery of the organization’s business associates in relation to the organization’s activities.
direct and indirect bribery (e.g. a bribe offered or accepted through or by a third party).

ISO 37001 is applicable only to bribery. It sets out requirements and provides guidance for a management system designed to help an organization to prevent, detect and respond to bribery and comply with anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments applicable to its activities.

ISO 37001 does not specifically address fraud, cartels and other anti-trust/competition offences, money-laundering or other activities related to corrupt practices, although an organization can choose to extend the scope of the management system to include such activities.

Climate Change Fueled The Australia Fires. Now Those Fires Are Fueling Climate Change

Posted on January 21, 2025February 6, 2025 by aacmenaus

Jan 21 • 5 min read

Australia is in the midst of a devastating wildfire season that is being exacerbated by climate change. But the fires, which have been burning for months and could rage on for months to come, are also impacting the earth’s climate in several ways. Some of those impacts are well understood, while others lie at the frontiers of scientific research.

Those wildfires are being fueled by a combination of record high temperatures, long-term drought, very low air and soil moisture going into the normal fire season, and human negligence. But climate change, scientists say, could make such extreme, deadly blazes three times as common by the end of the century.

Raising Awareness on Climate Change and Risks

It is a widely debated concept, but what we understand by environmental awareness is a general philosophy, a social movement and ultimately, “an attitude to life” that is concerned about protecting and improving the environment.

This awareness of the environment in which we live has become particularly important in recent years, when the scientific community established that human activity is having a direct negative impact on the environment.

How ISO 14001 relates to climate change

ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. ISO 14001 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.

Why ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:

Enhancement of environmental performance.
Fulfilment of compliance obligations.
Achievement of environmental objectives.

Who is ISO 14001 for?

ISO 14001 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001 does not state specific environmental performance criteria.

ISO 14001 should be used by any organization that wishes to set up, improve, or maintain an environmental management system to conform with its established environmental policy and requirements. The requirements of the standard can be incorporated into any environmental management system, the extent to which is determined by several factors including the organization’s industry, environmental policy, products and service offerings, and location. ISO 14001 is relevant to all organizations, regardless of size, location, sector, or industry.

Where can ISO 14001 be used?

ISO 14001 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

What topics does ISO 14001 cover?

At the highest level, ISO 14001 covers the following topics with regard to environmental management systems:

Leadership.
Planning.
Support.
Operation.
Performance evaluation.
Improvement.

14001:2004 vs. 14001:2015

The 2015 revision of ISO 14001 introduces a number of changes from previous versions. As part of the effort to structure all ISO standards in the same way, the ISO 14001:2015 revisions include incorporating a required high-level structure, using mandatory definitions, and incorporating common standards requirements and clauses. 10 major areas of impact of the 2015 revision:

Expansion in EMS coverage and scope.
Required interactions with external parties.
New requirements for leadership engagement.
Expanded legal compliance requirements.
Need for risk-based planning and controls.
New documentation requirements.
Expanded operational control requirements.
Changes in competence and awareness requirements.
Impacts on the internal audit program.
Increased certification costs.

What is new?

ISO 14001 was 20 years old in 2016 having been originally published in 1996. The third edition was published in September 2015. It incorporates a number of new concepts as well as using the ISO common framework for management systems. For organisations with accredited certificates to ISO 14001 International Accreditation Forum has defined a three year time frame for transition to ISO 14001:2015

What are the benefits of ISO 14001?

Using ISO 14001 has many benefits for organizations with environmental management systems. Organizations and companies find that using the standard helps them:

Improve resource efficiency.
Reduce waste.
Drive down costs.
Provide assurance that environmental impact is being measured.
Gain competitive advantage in supply chain design.
Increase new business opportunities.
Meet legal obligations.
Increase stakeholder and customer trust.
Improve overall environmental impact.
Manage environmental obligations with consistency.

Gone Phishing – The Need For An Effective Response To Security Incidents

Posted on January 21, 2025February 6, 2025 by aacmenaus

Jan 21 • 5 min read

What would a criminal do with your email address and password?

GO PHISHING! – phishing attacks can be targeted at your email contact lists – the fastest way to lose friends and business contacts! Secondly, they have access to your emails. Doesn’t take long to figure out, for example, who you hold online accounts with, especially if you don’t practice good mailbox housekeeping. Then, of course, there is the issue of passwords. Hands up how many people use the same passwords for multiple accounts and who change them infrequently? So, they have your password, they have your email address…next stop your other online accounts.

Why ISO 27001?

Using this family of standards will help your organization manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties. ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known standard in the family providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).

What is ISMS?

An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It includes people, processes and IT systems by applying a risk management process. It can help small, medium and large businesses in any sector keep information assets secure.

History of ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is derived from BS 7799 Part 2, first published as such by the British Standards Institute in 1999.
BS 7799 Part 2 was revised in 2002, explicitly incorporating the Deming-style Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.
BS 7799 part 2 was adopted as ISO/IEC 27001 in 2005 with various changes to reflect its new custodians.
The 2005 first edition was extensively revised and published in 2013, bringing it into line with the other ISO management systems standards and dropping explicit reference to PDCA.

ISO 27001 and risk management

ISO 27001 emphasizes the importance of risk management, which forms the cornerstone of an ISMS. All ISO 27001 projects evolve around an information security risk assessment – a formal, top management-driven process which provides the basis for a set of controls that help to manage information security risks. By implementing an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS, organizations will be able to secure information in all its forms, increase their resilience to cyber attacks, adapt to evolving security threats and reduce the costs associated with information security.

Why achieve ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 is one of the most popular information security standards in the world, with certifications growing by more than 450% in the past ten years. It is recognised globally as a benchmark for good security practice, and enables organisations to achieve accredited certification by an accredited certification body following the successful completion of an audit. Some of the advantages:

Protect your data, wherever it lives: An ISO 27001-compliant ISMS helps protect all forms of information, whether digital, paper-based, or in the Cloud.
Meet contractual and regulatory obligations: Certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to information security, and provides a valuable credential when tendering for new business.
Reduce costs associated with information security: Thanks to the risk assessment and analysis approach of an ISMS, organizations can reduce costs spent on indiscriminately adding layers of defensive technology that might not work.
Increase your attack resilience: Implementing and maintaining an ISMS will significantly increase your organization’s resilience to cyber attacks.
Respond to evolving security threats: Constantly adapting to changes both in the environment and inside the organization, an ISMS reduces the threat of continually evolving risks.
Improve company culture: The Standard’s holistic approach enables employees to readily understand risks and embrace security controls as part of their everyday working practice.

Why is ISO 27001 so important and what business benefits does it offer?

The business benefits from ISO 27001 certification are considerable. Not only do the standards help ensure that a business’ security risks are managed cost-effectively, but the adherence to the recognised standards sends a valuable and important message to customers and business partners: this business does things the correct way. ISO 27001 is invaluable for monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a company’s information security management system and will unquestionably give partner organisations and customers greater confidence in the way they interact with your business.

Some of the stages you will need to go through to protect your business and achieve ISO 27001 include:

Assessing the potential risks to your business and identifying areas that are vulnerable.
Implementing a management system that covers the entire organisation will help to control how and where information is stored and used.
Maintaining a process to manage current and future information security policy.
Making employees and third party contractors aware of the risks and incident reporting.
Monitoring system activity and logging user activities.
Keeping IT systems up to date with the latest protection.
System access control.
