Earthquakes, floods, fires, pandemics, cyberattacks, blackouts, supplier failures, staff walkouts...
No, this isn’t a doomsday movie. It’s real life. And ISO 22301 is your organization's armor for the unexpected.
ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS).
Its mission is simple: ensure that your organization can keep operating, no matter what.
This means:
Identifying potential threats
Building response and recovery plans
Practicing simulations and drills
Ensuring stakeholders know what to do during disruptions
In short: Be the company that says, “We’re still operating.”
Responds with a plan — not panic — during a crisis
Preserves reputation and customer confidence
Helps meet legal/regulatory obligations
Reassures partners, suppliers, and stakeholders
Reduces financial loss and downtime impact
Create your BCP (Business Continuity Plan)
Conduct risk & impact assessments
Define your Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTPD)
Test your response strategies through simulations
Certify readiness with international recognition
Banks and financial services
Hospitals and emergency services
Manufacturers and logistics chains
E-commerce platforms and SaaS providers
Public sector and infrastructure providers

“They Recovered in Just 30 Minutes!”
A delivery company implemented ISO 22301 and created detailed recovery procedures.
After a fire at a regional warehouse, their systems went down.
But thanks to pre-defined protocols, backup routes, and trained staff, they resumed deliveries in 30 minutes using alternate depots.
No delays. No lost customers.
Crises are no longer a question of “if.” It’s a matter of when.
ISO 22301 gives you structure, credibility, and confidence to lead through chaos.
The unprepared fall behind. The resilient rise.
