Ensure your organization can withstand and recover from any disruption with the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems.
ISO 22301 is the internationally recognized standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a structured framework for organizations to identify potential threats to their operations, assess the impact those threats could have on business activities, and build the resilience needed to respond effectively when disruptions occur.
The standard helps organizations continue critical activities during disruptions — whether caused by cyber incidents, natural disasters, supply chain failures, pandemics, power outages, or any other event that threatens normal operations. It addresses the full lifecycle of business continuity: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
ISO 22301 is compatible with and complementary to ISO 27001. While ISO 27001 protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets, ISO 22301 ensures the organization itself can continue functioning when those threats materialize. Together, they form a comprehensive resilience framework.
The standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type, or sector. Certification provides independent, third-party assurance that your BCMS meets internationally accepted best practice and that your organization can be trusted to deliver under adverse conditions.
Build organizational resilience, protect revenue streams, and demonstrate continuity capability to every stakeholder.
Maintain critical operations during crises and reduce the financial and reputational impact of disruptions through proactive continuity planning and tested response procedures.
Structured recovery plans ensure rapid restoration of services with clearly defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for all critical functions.
Demonstrate organizational resilience to clients, regulators, investors, and insurance providers — reinforcing trust in your ability to deliver under any circumstances.
Meet regulatory mandates in banking, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure sectors where business continuity planning is required by law or regulatory guidance.
Proactive planning dramatically cuts downtime costs and protects brand reputation by ensuring faster, more coordinated responses when incidents do occur.
Extend continuity planning to suppliers and critical partners, identifying and managing third-party disruption risk before it cascades into your own operations.
Our structured approach takes you from initial assessment through to a fully operational BCMS and internationally recognized certification.
Assess your current business continuity capabilities against ISO 22301 requirements to identify gaps, understand your starting position, and establish a clear roadmap to certification.
Identify critical business functions, dependencies, and tolerable disruption timeframes. Define Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for each priority area.
Develop BCMS policies, Business Continuity Plans (BCPs), Crisis Communication Plans, and supporting procedures aligned with ISO 22301 clause requirements.
Exercise and test business continuity plans through tabletop exercises and simulations, train staff at all levels, and integrate continuity into day-to-day operations and culture.
Verify BCMS effectiveness through a formal internal audit, identifying nonconformities and improvement opportunities before the external certification audit takes place.
Independent certification audit conducted by LL-C/ISOQACERT auditors. Stage 1 evaluates documentation and readiness; Stage 2 verifies implementation and operational effectiveness.
Receive your IAF-recognized ISO 22301 certificate, valid for 3 years. Annual surveillance audits confirm ongoing BCMS effectiveness and continual improvement.
ISOQACERT provides end-to-end BCMS implementation and certification support — from initial BIA workshops through to maintaining your BCMS during the three-year certification cycle.
ISO 22301 is essential for organizations where operational continuity is a regulatory requirement, a contractual obligation, or a critical factor in stakeholder trust.
Central banks and financial regulators in many jurisdictions mandate business continuity plans and increasingly reference ISO 22301 as the accepted framework for demonstrating compliance.
Organizations operating in energy, water, transport, and telecommunications sectors face regulatory pressure to demonstrate resilience, making ISO 22301 a cornerstone of their compliance posture.
Large enterprise clients and public sector procurement frameworks increasingly require ISO 22301 from service providers and suppliers before entering into long-term contracts.
