The Small and Medium Business Technology Information Promotion Agency has been recognized for its ability to maintain core operations during disaster situations.
On September 28, the agency announced that it has reacquired the 'Disaster Mitigation Excellence Certification' from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, which acknowledges the effectiveness of its disaster management system.
The Disaster Mitigation Excellence Certification is a government program that certifies companies that establish and effectively operate management systems to ensure that core operations are not interrupted during disasters. This government-recognized certification evaluates the effectiveness and execution of Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) and is valid for four years.
Since obtaining its initial certification in 2022, the agency has enhanced its disaster preparedness system by advancing its unique risk identification and analysis framework and regularly updating its response manuals to adapt to the rapidly changing disaster environment.
With this reacquisition of certification, the agency has demonstrated its crisis response capabilities to reliably support research and development (R&D) for small and medium enterprises and drive innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) manufacturing, even in various emergency situations.
Kim Young-shin, the agency's head, stated, 'We will continue to strengthen our disaster preparedness system to proactively respond to unpredictable disasters and provide stable public services to small and medium enterprises and the public.'
