Business Continuity Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

Lynx, as part of the defined strategy for the correct business development, considers that some threats can disrupt our business operations and to our provision of services (such as infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, natural disasters, pandemics…). Therefore, it is committed to evidence to interested parties that, in the event of an incident or crisis scenario, the organization is prepared and has plans that allow normal operations to be restored in the expected times, avoiding or minimizing the impact that the interruption of services could cause.

In order to develop this policy, Lynx is committed to planning, establishing, implementing, operating, supervising, reviewing, maintaining and improving a business continuity management system (BCM) based on the UNE-ISO/IEC 22301:2019 standard, which adequately covers all the necessary requirements to ensure that the processes contemplated in the scope are managed in accordance with the requirements contemplated in said standard 

2. OBJECTIVE

Establish the general framework that guarantees the correct development, implementation, review and improvement of the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) implemented in the organization that ensures:

  •  The preservation and continuity of the organization’s processes and activities in the event of a disruptive incident.
  •  An adequate and timely response to the materialization of a risk included in the organization’s risk analysis and linked to both the organization’s current threat catalog and its internal services catalog, which cause a scenario of lack of availability of any of the basic components of Lynx’s activity: people, infrastructure, technology, information and suppliers.
  • The reduction of the impact of possible catastrophes on business activities, guaranteeing that essential data and functions are preserved or, if not possible, that such data or functions are recovered, promptly and progressively, until normality returns. 

3. SCOPE

This policy applies to all Lynx processes and activities and is mandatory for all personnel in the organization. 

4. DETAIL

The Lynx BCMS policy is based on the following principles:

  • The protection and safety of people is the first premise and priority objective, both in normal situations and in a crisis situation resulting from a disaster.
  • The appointment of representatives from the different areas with the appropriate experience and knowledge, so that they actively participate in the preparation, implementation, review, testing and updating of the Business Continuity Plans.
  • The development and implementation of the Lynx Business Continuity Plan taking into account the internal areas and departments, suppliers and services and using appropriate and proportionate systems, resources and procedures.
  • The use of the synergies generated in the development and implementation of the Business Continuity Plan, considering the common means and resources available to the organization.
  • The adoption of reasonable measures for the operational continuity of processes and activities, based on the criticality of these established by the organization.
  • The inclusion of security and reliability criteria that reasonably guarantee the continuity of critical services provided by third parties, in the event of their outsourcing.
  • The development, within the Business Continuity Plan, of appropriate communication procedures, both internal and external, that enable the correct execution of these, as well as the timely provision of information to all interested parties.
  • The communication to all staff of their responsibilities and the procedures that are their responsibility, within the framework of business continuity, through awareness-raising and training tasks.
  • The development of a Business Continuity Management System that contemplates the carrying out of reviews, tests and updates of the Business Continuity Plan periodically or in the event of significant changes, in a process of continuous improvement of the same.
  • The permanent willingness to collaborate with the authorities in the event of disaster or need, as part of the spirit of service that permeates all of Lynx’s actions and the responsibility towards the society in which it operates.
