Business Continuity Management System
ISO 22301:2019 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), helping organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents.
ISO 22301 specifies requirements to implement, maintain and improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure operations recover from disruptions.

An accredited certification body audits conformance.
The certification body issues the accredited certificate.
Annual audits maintain certification status.

Timelines depend on organisational readiness, scope and the complexity of your processes. A well-prepared, single-site organisation typically moves faster than a multi-site or highly regulated one — we’ll give you a realistic timeline after the initial gap analysis.
