ISO 22301 questions
Who issues the ISO 22301 certificate?+
An independent certification body accredited for ISO 22301. Preparation, training and advisory are deliberately kept separate from certification so the audit stays impartial.
Can our team be trained on ISO 22301?+
Yes — options include ISO 22301 Foundation, ISO 22301 Internal Auditor, ISO 22301 Lead Auditor, Business Impact Analysis (BIA) Workshop, Advanced Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery. Public, virtual and in-house formats can be arranged; ask for current dates and fees.
What is a Business Impact Analysis?+
A BIA identifies your critical activities, how quickly each must recover and what it depends on. It is the foundation every continuity strategy and plan is built on.
