ISO 22301 Business Continuity Readiness

What we assess

We connect business impact analysis and disruption risks with continuity strategies, response procedures, and realistic recovery priorities. The review examines people, facilities, technology, suppliers, and communication responsibilities. A written plan needs exercises and improvement records to demonstrate that it is workable and maintained.

Evidence to prepare

• Continuity scope, business impact analysis, dependency maps, and risk assessment.
• Recovery strategies, response plans, escalation roles, and communications procedures.
• Exercise results, corrective actions, internal audits, and management-review decisions.

Keep design evidence separate from operating evidence. An approved procedure shows how a control is designed; dated records show whether it ran consistently over the review period. Evidence should identify its source, owner, scope, and collection date.

What you receive

• Continuity management-system gap review and prioritized improvement plan.
• Exercise and evidence recommendations tied to critical services.
• Internal review and independent certification preparation within the agreed scope.

Common questions

Is disaster recovery the same as business continuity?

Technology recovery is one part of continuity. A business continuity program also addresses people, suppliers, facilities, communications, and the delivery of essential products and services.

What determines the engagement timeline and cost?

The system boundary, number of entities and locations, existing control maturity, evidence availability, and assessment pathway determine the effort. Share your customer requirements and target milestone so we can define a realistic scope before proposing a schedule.
