ISO 22301 Course – Implementing ISO 22301

What is ISO 22301?

ISO 22301 is an international standard for business continuity management. It enhances an organisation’s reputation and standing with customers by implementing a BCMS that ensures a business continues to operate when faced with significant disruption.

It assesses the processes, policies and operating procedures required to keep your business trading and avoid costly downtime. It creates a framework encompassing management, human resources, systems and procedures that are actively monitored and measured, helping a business identify threats to its operations and respond effectively.
