Crisis and Risk Management

From prevention to emergency care

Industry, public institutions, and private individuals need professional crisis and risk management in order to identify dangers at an early stage, minimize downtime, and remain capable of acting—TÜV NORD provides reliable support in this regard.

Acting reliably when it matters

Whether cyber attacks, natural disasters, psychological crises or supply chain problems - without structured crisis and risk management, companies, organisations and individuals quickly reach their limits.

Trained risk managers as well as emergency and crisis managers ensure that processes work even in an emergency. The right response to an IT security incident, speed, analysis and prevention are particularly crucial in the digital world.

In addition, psychological emergency counsellors provide valuable support for employees in stressful situations. TÜV NORD offers testing, training and certification to minimise risks and ensure security in the long term and with confidence.

Crisis and risk management: All services

Fire and explosion protection for industry, energy and critical infrastructure

Fires and explosions are among the most significant risks for technical installations and complex production environments. TÜV NORD helps operators to identify hazards at an early stage and to design protective measures that are reliable, standards‑compliant and cost‑effective. The goal is a safe, stable and permit‑ready operation of industrial plants, energy facilities & critical infrastructure.

ISO 22301 - Business Continuity Management System (BCMS)

The ISO 22301 standard for business continuity management systems (BCMS) helps companies ensure business continuity in the event of critical incidents such as natural disasters or IT failures. TÜV NORD CERT offers certification to ensure proactive measures and testing procedures for crisis management.

Plant protection and IT security for networked technical installations

Networked technical systems require a level of protection that aligns physical security technology, plant security, IT security and operational processes. TÜV NORD assesses functions, interfaces and vulnerabilities and develops robust security architectures for industry, energy supply and critical infrastructure.

A sustainability report allows an organisation to communicate transparently about its environmental impact, social responsibilities, and governance practices. This builds trust among customers, investors, and other stakeholders, as they can clearly see how the organisation pursues its sustainability objectives.

Safety and risk assessments for technical installations and infrastructure

Technical installations and infrastructures are becoming more complex and increasingly interconnected. At the same time, requirements for safe, demonstrable and compliant operation are rising. TÜV NORD supports operators in identifying hazards at an early stage, assessing risks in a structured manner and deriving robust measures for safe, economical and efficient plant operation.

Supply chains & due diligence obligations

Since 2023, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act has required organisations to protect human rights and environmental standards throughout their entire supply chain. Through risk management, preventive measures, and grievance mechanisms, violations can be identified and prevented at an early stage. Annual reporting ensures transparency

Sustainability strategy & management

Organisations must integrate sustainability into their strategies and processes for the long term. This requires clear structures with defined responsibilities, measurable objectives, and actionable plans. A sustainable management system facilitates the coordination of initiatives, reduces risks, identifies opportunities early, and builds stakeholder trust through transparent communication.
