ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management

Keep serving your customers when something goes wrong. ISO 22301 gives you a tested, certifiable business continuity management system, from impact analysis to recovery plans your teams have actually rehearsed.

What ISO 22301 Is

ISO 22301 specifies a business continuity management system (BCMS): how an organization prepares for, responds to and recovers from disruption, whether the cause is a cyberattack, an outage, a supplier failure or a physical event.

At its core are a business impact analysis that sets recovery priorities, continuity strategies and plans, and regular exercises that prove the plans work. It complements cybersecurity and is often expected by regulators and major customers alongside ISO/IEC 27001 and the resilience domain of the ECC.

Who Needs This

  • Organizations whose services cannot stop for long without serious harm.
  • Entities facing regulator or customer requirements for business continuity.
  • Organizations that have plans on paper but have never tested them.
  • Companies that depend heavily on IT, cloud or key suppliers.

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows the Cyber Shields rhythm: Assess, Protect, Monitor. For this engagement, that translates into the following steps.

  1. Gap assessment. Under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, we measure your current practices against ISO 22301 and agree the scope.
  2. Design and documentation. We design the processes, policies and records the standard expects, sized to your organization.
  3. Implementation support. We run the business impact analysis and risk assessment with your teams, write continuity and recovery plans, and design the first exercises.
  4. Internal audit. An independent internal audit checks readiness and evidence before any external assessment.
  5. Management review and readiness. We prepare leadership for the management review and your team for the external audit.

What You Receive

  • Business impact analysis with recovery time and point objectives.
  • Business continuity and IT recovery plans.
  • Exercise programme and the first exercise report.

Engagement & Investment

Every engagement is scoped individually. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your environment, the systems or controls in scope, and the timeline you need to work to. Rather than publish figures that rarely fit a specific situation, we prepare a written proposal with a clear fee and schedule once your scope is understood.

Tell us about your organization and the deadline you are working toward, and we will return a tailored proposal within five business days, following a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is business continuity the same as disaster recovery?

No. Disaster recovery restores IT. Business continuity keeps the whole service running, including people, premises, suppliers and communication.

How often should plans be tested?

At least annually, and after major changes. We help you set a realistic exercise programme.

Do you issue the certificate?

No. Certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies. We prepare you so that the certification audit goes smoothly, and we can help you choose a certification body.

Will the report be available in Arabic?

Yes. Reports, the executive summary, and the readout session are available in both Arabic and English at no additional cost.
