What is ISO 22301?

In the event of an emergency, many businesses and organizations must have the ability to mitigate damage and continue operating. ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management (BCM). Published by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO 22301 is designed to help organizations prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from unexpected and disruptive incidents. To do so, the standard provides a practical framework for setting up and managing an effective business continuity management system. ISO 22301 aims to safeguard an organization from a wide range of potential threats and disruptions.

An organisation achieving ISO 22301 certification implies it has recovery and restoration capability for each outage scenario, be it technology, site, vendor, people/skill or any other dependency. We have a 7 phase approach that starts with understanding your business and continuity objectives. This is followed by Business Impact Analysis (BIA), and Risk Assessment (RA) to determine your minimum business continuity objectives.

Each of our ISO 22301 consulting assignment involves transfer of knowledge, skills, documented plans, and testing of each of those plans. We create two layer plans that includes restoration of minimum as well as full restoration.

We have implemented ISO 22301 for large Telecoms covering multiple locations, Financial Institutions, and Insurance Companies. Each of them are successfully ISO 22301 certified.
