# \[BCM\] \[ALPS\] \[E1\] \[C9\] Assessing Risks and Threats

[![\[BCM\] \[ALPS\] \[Full Banner\] Implementing Business Continuity Management for ALPS Healthcare](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/a577c05a-ab89-4043-9a89-1dea0d883afc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/a577c05a-ab89-4043-9a89-1dea0d883afc)

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is founded on the principle that organisations must be prepared for disruptive events that could affect the continuity of their critical business functions.

[![x eBook Cover \[BCM\] \[ALPS\] \[E1\] \[2D\]](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/b5679347-4c2f-400c-bfdb-65c0cf960dcb.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/b5679347-4c2f-400c-bfdb-65c0cf960dcb)ISO 22301 requires organisations to understand the internal and external issues that may affect the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), while the Risk Analysis and Review (RAR) process identifies specific threats that could disrupt business operations.

Understanding these threats enables organisations to develop appropriate prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience strategies.

For ALPS Healthcare (ALPS), identifying threats is especially important because the organisation supports Singapore's public healthcare sector through strategic procurement, healthcare logistics, inventory management, warehousing, pharmaceutical sourcing, and supply chain coordination.

Disruptions affecting ALPS Healthcare may indirectly affect hospitals, healthcare institutions, clinicians, and patients.

Consequently, threat identification must extend beyond traditional facility-related incidents to include supply chain disruptions, cyber threats, public health emergencies, regulatory changes, and failures affecting critical third-party providers.

This chapter introduces the major categories of threats relevant to Business Continuity Management and presents representative crisis scenarios applicable to ALPS Healthcare.

These scenarios provide the basis for the Risk Analysis and Review (RAR), Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Business Continuity Strategy (BCS), and Testing and Exercising phases described in subsequent eBooks.

### Assessing Risks and Threats

 

#### Introduction

[![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/4fb30324-a9e0-4f9f-853e-2bc256850f62.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/4fb30324-a9e0-4f9f-853e-2bc256850f62)Business Continuity Management (BCM) is founded on the principle that organisations must be prepared for disruptive events that could affect the continuity of their critical business functions.

ISO 22301 requires organisations to understand the internal and external issues that may affect the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), while the Risk Analysis and Review (RAR) process identifies specific threats that could disrupt business operations.

Understanding these threats enables organisations to develop appropriate prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience strategies.

For ALPS Healthcare (ALPS), identifying threats is especially important because the organisation supports Singapore's public healthcare sector through strategic procurement, healthcare logistics, inventory management, warehousing, pharmaceutical sourcing, and supply chain coordination.

Disruptions affecting ALPS Healthcare may indirectly affect hospitals, healthcare institutions, clinicians, and patients. Consequently, threat identification must extend beyond traditional facility-related incidents to include supply chain disruptions, cyber threats, public health emergencies, regulatory changes, and failures affecting critical third-party providers.

This chapter introduces the major categories of threats relevant to Business Continuity Management and presents representative crisis scenarios applicable to ALPS Healthcare.

These scenarios provide the basis for the Risk Analysis and Review (RAR), Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Business Continuity Strategy (BCS), and Testing and Exercising phases described in subsequent eBooks.

 

### **Understanding Key Risk Management Concepts**

#### **Business Continuity Threats**

[![BCMPedia Threat](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/443f436c-6219-4360-91ab-8e569939d29e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/443f436c-6219-4360-91ab-8e569939d29e)[![BCMPedia Disaster](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/fa444299-4ddb-4696-9cc3-362d1bf7b801.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/fa444299-4ddb-4696-9cc3-362d1bf7b801)

A business continuity threat is any event, condition, or circumstance that could disrupt an organisation's ability to deliver its critical products or services.

Examples include:

- Cyber attacks
- Fire
- Flooding
- Pandemic
- Utility failure
- Supplier failure
- Human error

A threat represents the source of potential disruption.

##### **Example – ALPS Healthcare**

A cyberattack affecting the Warehouse Management System (WMS) could prevent inventory visibility, delaying the distribution of essential medicines to hospitals.

**Relationship Between Threats and ISO 22301**

ISO 22301 does not prescribe a standard list of threats. Instead, organisations are required to understand their operating context and identify the risks that may affect business continuity.

Threat identification supports:

- Risk Analysis and Review (RAR).
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA).
- Business Continuity Strategy (BCS).
- Business Continuity Plan (BCP) development.
- Crisis Management.
- Incident Response.
- Testing and Exercising.
- Continual Improvement.

Threats, therefore, become the foundation on which organisational resilience is developed.

 

### **Major Categories of Business Continuity Threats**

#### **Natural Hazards**

Natural hazards include environmental events beyond human control.

Examples include:

- Flooding.
- Severe storms.
- Lightning.
- Haze.
- Earthquake (regional impact).

Understanding the threats that may disrupt organisational operations is a prerequisite for developing an effective Business Continuity Management System.

For ALPS Healthcare, the threat landscape extends well beyond traditional emergencies and includes cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, pandemics, logistics disruptions, regulatory changes, technology outages, and failures affecting critical suppliers and service providers.

Given ALPS Healthcare's strategic role in supporting Singapore's public healthcare system, these threats could affect not only organisational performance but also the continuity of healthcare services nationwide.

This chapter has introduced the principal categories of business continuity threats, illustrated representative threats relevant to ALPS Healthcare, and demonstrated how these threats can be translated into realistic crisis scenarios for planning and exercising purposes.

By analysing how different threats may affect people, facilities, technology, suppliers, logistics, and governance, ALPS Healthcare can establish a comprehensive understanding of its operational risk environment and identify where resilience measures are most needed.

The threat categories and crisis scenarios presented in this chapter provide the foundation for the Risk Analysis and Review (RAR) phase described in the next eBook, *Implementing Business Continuity Management for ALPS Healthcare*.

There, each threat will be assessed based on its likelihood, potential consequences, and impact on Critical Business Functions.

This systematic approach enables ALPS Healthcare to develop appropriate continuity strategies, validate recovery capabilities through exercises, and continually enhance its resilience in alignment with the principles and requirements of ISO 22301.
