Server failure is a known risk inherent to organisations of all types and sizes. As ISO follows best practice and is aligned with top information technology standards, we were able to manage such an outage with technical expertise in a timely manner. We remain steadfast in the robustness and integrity of our IT infrastructure and processes.
Public access to standards was maintained at all times and the impact on our core business of standards development activities throughout the outage was mostly limited to the unavailability of applications. The ISO community and those directly impacted remained informed throughout. The length of the downtime was attributed to the meticulous restoration processes of our many applications and websites.
This experience reinforces our determination to implement our strategic need to consolidate and strengthen our IT ecosystem, aligned with the evolution of international standards development.
