ISO 22301 Certification

ISO 22301 Certification … Standing out from the crowd is important for any business that wants to grow and be successful. Business customers will often have a number of stakeholders involved in managing the supply of services and products and many will be looking for signs they are choosing the right partner.

Especially in B2B relationships, having a clear cutting edge is a distinct advantage. ISO certification has become a trusted way for many organisations and companies to show that they meet high standards.

These general and sector-specific awards are used to prepare individual businesses to meet internationally recognised standards in areas as diverse as business continuity and environmental management.

What is ISO 22301 Certification?

ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management Certification demonstrates that your business has put in place the ability to manage internal and external threats. A threat can be something as simple as a flood at your distribution warehouse which impacts on your ability to deliver products to customers. It can be as complex as a malware attack that puts your data at risk and your systems offline.

Any Business Continuity Management System or BCMS is focused on four important issues:

• Disruption: If a catastrophic event takes place, how does your business manage this problem and get your distribution to customers back on track? In other words, how do you keep doing business?
• Reputation: One key problem any business faces when it’s supply chain is disrupted is a loss of reputation and the impact that this can have on the confidence of customers. Managing reputation is vital.
• Risk Management: Having the tools in place to carry out risk assessments and putting in the right process and procedures to deal with any potential challenges helps grow confidence not only in the organisation but outside it as well with customers.
• Engagement: The one thing that connects all parts of BCMS is how individuals and bodies are communicated with and the resources and training which are provided to implement the appropriate systems. Engagement and getting staff on board is essential.
