ISO 22301 BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION

An ISO 22301 BCMS certified by LRQA prepares businesses for worst-case scenarios; be it IT outage, personnel or telecommunications incident, terrorism, inclement weather or pandemic . By implementing clear processes to ensure rapid recovery, ISO 22301 helps guarantee a consistent level of service to your customers and other stakeholders.

Certification applies to all types of organisations; and with the ISO 22301 standard reviewed every five years, it ensures relevancy with the latest threats and risks posed.

The period for transitioning to ISO 22301:2019 has been extended to 30 April 2023.

Mitigate risk and limit disruption

An ISO 22301 certified BCMS with LRQA helps organisations identify and mitigate key risks, reducing the threat of an incident before it even occurs. By identifying potential risks, it prepares you for the unexpected, allowing you to respond quickly and decisively to minimise downtime should an incident occur.

Consistency of service and reputation
