Introduction to Best in Resilience™ Certification
Everbridge offers the Best in Resilience™ certification to enable organizations to demonstrate their ability to protect their people, safeguard operations, and sustain performance through Critical Event Management (CEM) best practices. The certification is based on Everbridge's proprietary CEM Standards Framework™, which provides a comprehensive methodology for evaluating and benchmarking resilience. With over 20 years of experience in professional service implementations across thousands of enterprises worldwide, this framework is designed to help organizations understand their current capabilities, make informed decisions based on their risk appetite, and signal value to employees and stakeholders.
Benefits of Best in Resilience™ Certification
Obtaining the Best in Resilience™ certification comes with several benefits for both private and public sector organizations. For private sector companies, certification affirms readiness to tackle critical events such as digital downtime, supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and security threats. It allows benchmarking against industry peers, validating planning strategies, driving return on investment, attracting and retaining top talent, formalizing recognition, and individual achievements. Similarly, for public sector entities, the certification ensures preparedness to manage a wide range of critical events, ultimately protecting employees, assets, resources, and communities. By aligning with standards like ISO 22336, organizations can showcase their commitment to best practices in critical event readiness.
Certification Process and Recognition
The Best in Resilience™ certification process involves an assessment based on the Everbridge CEM Standards Framework™ methodology, honed over two decades of experience in keeping people safe and organizations operational. Organizations that undergo this assessment receive a certification report detailing their resilience status, strengths, areas of improvement, and benchmark analysis. Certification signifies adherence to standards related to regulatory compliance, operational excellence, cost savings, ROI improvements, and enhanced brand integrity. The certification acts as a testament to an organization's smart processes in accelerating operational response to critical events, thereby ensuring safety and continuity.
