What exactly does maintenance entail?
Maintenance is checking the management system. Tasks involved are:
- Execute the controls of the annual schedule (e.g., making backups, testing the continuity plan and checking issued authorizations)
- Measuring and monitoring set objectives.
- Checking that procedures are actually followed. For example, before leaving employment when someone leaves.
It is important to remain critical and ask yourself if your organization is actually complying with the policies set forth.
Continuous improvement
In addition to adhering to policies, continuous improvement is also a mandatory part of ISO certification. So letting your management system gather dust is not an option. Suppose you previously decided that one backup a day was enough. But if you're now working on a new project with sensitive information, it's wise to consider whether two backups a day might not be safer. It's not just about implementing policies efficiently and effectively, but also critically evaluating them. This is important to keep the management system effective.
Implementation of improvements
Seeing improvement opportunities is one thing, but actually implementing them is often easier said than done. Implementing improvements is important to prevent new problems in the future. People are naturally used to routines and changing them is often not without resistance. At Fendix, we understand the norm, know the policies and know how to involve everyone within the organization in these changes.
