ISO 22301 Business Continuity Certification, Training & Resources

Even the smallest incident can sometimes cause significant disruption to organisations. In a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable, the need for an independently certified business continuity management system (BCMS) is becoming more and more vital to help overcome challenges and stay operational.

Certification to ISO 22301:2019 from LRQA can help mitigate risk, add resilience to your organisation and gives your customers and stakeholders confidence that you can recover rapidly from the impacts of major incidents.

The certification applies to all types of organisations, regardless of the size or sector. The standard is reviewed every five years, ensuring it remains relevant in the face of the latest threats and risks faced.

The period for transitioning to ISO 22301:2019 has been extended to 30 April 2023.
