ISO 22301 Implementation
Experienced consultants provide comprehensive support for the implementation of ISO 22301 requirements and best practices. Consultants assist with all stages of the ISO 22301 implementation lifecycle, including program management, conducting the BIA, determining BC strategies, developing and implementing response plans, establishing training programs, and setting up processes for exercising and maintaining the BCMS. Services cover full lifecycle support or specific assistance in targeted implementation areas to achieve ISO 22301 conformance or certification readiness.
Support is provided for establishing and implementing all elements of an ISO 22301 compliant business continuity management system, covering clauses 4-10. This includes guidance on documenting processes, establishing controls, and embedding business continuity into organizational practices.
Establishing a robust business continuity framework based on ISO 22301 is the primary goal.
Systematic implementation of BCMS elements ensures organizational resilience and compliance.
Business Continuity Manager services are available to lead or support the ISO 22301 implementation project, manage specific workstreams (e.g., BIA development, plan creation), and provide expertise throughout the implementation process.
