What is the Best in Resilience™ certification?
As the pioneers in Critical Event Management, Everbridge has developed a proprietary CEM Standards Framework™ offering certified organizations the industry’s first end-to-end methodology for evaluating and benchmarking resilience.
This framework is based on experience from over 20 years of professional service implementations across thousands of enterprises from over 150 countries and tens of billions of critical interactions delivered.
The Best in Resilience™ Certification enables leaders to understand their current capabilities and make informed choices based on their risk appetite. Further, it can be used as a value signal, providing confidence to employees and key stakeholders.

Enterprises
The Best in Resilience™ Certification helps affirm your organization’s readiness to manage critical events, including digital downtime, supply chain interruptions, natural disasters, terrorist threats, humanmade disasters, and any critical event impacting operations, people, assets, and resources. Becoming a Best in Resilience™ certified company helps your organization benchmark against industry peers, validate planning, drive strong return on investment, recruit and retain top talent, formalize recognition, and reward individual achievements by signifying your focus on applying best practices that assure your organization is Protect, Adapt, and Prosper.

Public organizations and governments
The Best in Resilience™ Certification helps ensure that public organizations and governments are best equipped to manage a variety of critical events before, during, and after they occur: assuring that employees, assets, resources, and communities are better protected from critical events like natural disasters, manmade threats, and everything in between. Through the use of our CEM Baseline Assessment and guidance, your organization can demonstrate its continued ability to deploy best practices in critical event readiness to employees and communities alike, signifying that your organization is prepared to Protect, Adapt, and Prosper.
