According to The Conference Board, larger organizations are more likely to have implemented the most common standards, like the ISO 27001/17799 information security standard. In addition, almost 75 percent of enterprise-level companies conduct regular risk audits, mitigation, and activation of backup facilities. Despite company size, crisis communications procedures are included in 91 percent of emergency plans.
