ISO 22301 Certification

The current version is ISO 22301:2019.
Rest assured, updates are infrequent. However, as/when revisions to ISO 22301:2019 are due, we will ensure that our certification clients have plenty of time to implement any new requirements.

If you’re asking this question then the answer is probably yes! Are you keen to demonstrate your commitment to being a reliable supplier for your customers? Do you want to reduce the risks associated with unexpected events? Are you looking to protect your business’ long-term future? Would you like to enhance your reputation and attract new customers?
If so, then, regardless of the size or industry of your company, you should consider an ISO business continuity certification.

Because ISO 22301 is an internationally recognised standard, companies all over the world, from almost every industry and of all sizes, hold ISO 22301 certification. Our clients range from sole traders and SMEs through to local government departments and well-known brands.

Really, it doesn’t have to be! Once you have implemented your business continuity management system and can evidence a willingness for continuous improvement, you’re all set!
All we ask is that you provide a single point of contact for us to work with. You don’t need to dedicate a team to achieving ISO 22301; although we would recommend involving your staff so that they understand the reason behind seeking ISO certification and the benefits it will bring.
Remember, all ISO 22301 certification clients receive up to 4 hours of free consultancy within the first 12 months. Beyond that, we are always available to provide any additional consultancy and training that you want.

To get started, you will need to have a documented business continuity management system, as well as proof of implementation, and documented processes and procedures.
Remember, we’re here to guide you on your journey and will support you in ensuring that your documentation is sufficient to ensure a successful audit.

Mostly, we conduct remote audits, which means that they are carried out online.
We work this way because it offers time and cost savings to our clients. It also reduces the inevitable stress that face-to-face audits can create. That said, if you would prefer an onsite audit, we are happy to pay you a visit!
When we start working together, we prepare and supply all of the relevant template documents for the ISO 22301 standard.
For an audit, we assess the evidence that your documents are being implemented.
No fuss, no stress, no operational downtime.

Once you have been successfully assessed, your ISO 22301 certificate is valid for one year. Thereafter, an annual cycle of auditing your business continuity management system will begin at the end of your first year.

Obtaining ISO 22301 lets people know that you take your responsibility to business continuity seriously. Additionally, there are management standards for lots of areas of your operations, such as:

• Quality management – ISO 9001
• Environmental management – ISO 14001
