If you are a Compliance Officer, Information Security Manager, or Operations Lead at a multi-site FMCG or industrial manufacturing enterprise, this playbook was built for you.
Managing compliance across distributed production facilities, supply chain partners, and IT infrastructure introduces complex coordination challenges. You are under pressure to align information security and business continuity practices with global standards while maintaining operational resilience amid rising cyber threats and third-party risks. Regulatory expectations demand documented controls, evidence of implementation, and integration with quality management systems, often without dedicated headcount or centralized tools. The burden of audit readiness, cross-functional alignment, and maintaining certification across ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 9001 can quickly overwhelm internal teams.
Engaging external consultants from a Big-4 firm to design and implement an integrated ISMS and BCMS typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000 depending on organizational scale and geographic footprint. Alternatively, assigning this work internally requires 2 to 3 full-time staff over 6 to 9 months to research requirements, develop policies, coordinate stakeholders, collect evidence, and prepare for certification audits. This playbook delivers the same structured approach, reusable templates, and implementation roadmap for a one-time cost of $395.

Domain assessments
Each of the seven domain assessments contains 30 targeted questions to evaluate current state maturity and identify gaps in implementation. These are designed for use across multiple facilities and functions:
- Governance and Risk Management: Evaluates the existence and effectiveness of risk assessment processes, policy ownership, and management review cycles for ISMS and BCMS.
- Asset Management: Assesses inventory practices for information assets, classification schemes, and handling procedures across production systems and corporate networks.
- Access Control: Reviews user provisioning, role-based permissions, privileged account management, and authentication mechanisms for IT and OT environments.
- Incident Response: Measures readiness to detect, report, and respond to security incidents and operational disruptions with defined escalation paths.
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA): Validates the accuracy and completeness of critical process identification, maximum tolerable downtime, and resource dependencies.
- Continuity Strategy: Examines the alignment of recovery strategies, including alternate production, data backup, and logistics rerouting, with BIA outcomes.
- Supplier and Third-Party Risk: Tests oversight of external providers, contract clauses, audit rights, and performance monitoring for ICT and logistics partners.
