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.
Private sector
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.
Public sector
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.
The Best in Resilience certification assessment aligns with several standards, like ISO 22336 – the first international standard that provides guidelines for designing, implementing and improving resilience policies and strategies within organizations.
“This recognition underscores our strategy and commitment to crisis readiness and business resilience through the power of data and digital analytics, risk intelligence, visualization and aggregate risk insights.”
Whit Chaiyabhat, Vice President, Takeda

Everbridge Announces Results of 2024 Best in Resilience™ Study
Each year, the Everbridge Best in Resilience™ Study explores top organizations’ resilience capabilities. We analyze thousands of data points to understand how these leaders detect, assess, and respond to risks, providing invaluable insights for businesses aiming to fortify their own resilience strategies.
What does it mean to get certified?
Earning certification signals that an organization uses smart processes to accelerate operational response to critical events to keep people safe and operations running.
The certification process assesses how well organizations adhere to specific standards related to regulatory compliance, operational excellence, cost savings and improved ROI, and bolstered reputation and brand integrity.
“This assessment allowed me to take a step back after it was done and really get that panoramic view on how things were working together that even I didn’t appreciate, and I was in the middle of it. I think for no other reason than you would get a great perspective on the initiatives and tools as well as having your strengths identified and areas for improvement identified, it is well worth the few hours that you are going to invest in doing it.”
Jeff Fletcher, the Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management, Loudoun County
