A tested plan for keeping your business operational when the unexpected happens — because eventually, it will.
ISO 22301 gives organisations a structured approach to identifying disruption risks, building recovery plans, and testing them — so when a crisis hits, your people know exactly what to do and your operations keep running.
Book a Gap AssessmentThe scope of ISO 22301:2012
- Business impact analysis (BIA)Identify your critical business functions, determine how long disruption is tolerable, and set recovery time objectives that protect your operations.
- Risk assessment and threat scenariosAnalyse the specific threats your organisation faces — IT failure, supply chain disruption, extreme weather, geopolitical events — and plan for each.
- Business continuity plans and proceduresBuild practical, tested recovery plans for every critical function — with clear responsibilities, communication protocols, and resource requirements.
- Testing and exercisingValidate your plans through regular exercises and drills — so your team is practised, not just prepared on paper.
The business case
Organisations with tested continuity plans recover faster and lose less revenue than those without — the ROI on a BCMS is measured in crisis.
Many enterprise and government contracts in financial services, IT, and critical infrastructure require ISO 22301 certification from service providers.
Regulatory bodies and insurance providers increasingly require evidence of formal business continuity management. Certification provides it.
Certification signals to clients, investors, and partners that your organisation has done the work to remain reliable when conditions deteriorate.
The certification journey
Most firms hand you a document pack and leave. We stay with you from gap assessment through certification — and beyond.
We audit your current operations against the standard's requirements and show you exactly where you stand.
We build your management system — policies, procedures, process maps — tailored to how your business actually works.
We work alongside your team on the ground to embed the system into daily operations and train your people to own it.
We run a full internal audit cycle, close any gaps, and make sure you're ready before the certification body arrives.
We support you through the certification audit — and stay available for surveillance prep and continuous improvement after.
