ISO 22301 Implementation Guide
ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organisations to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents.
How Continuity Direct Supports Compliance
Achieving ISO 22301 certification requires evidence of specific capabilities. Here is how our platform maps to the standard's requirements:
- Operational Planning & Control (Clause 8.1): Our pre-built Incident Plans ensure that your recovery procedures are documented, accessible, and executable.
- Incident Response Structure (Clause 8.4): The platform enforces a clear command hierarchy (Gold/Silver/Bronze), ensuring roles and responsibilities are defined and understood.
- Exercising & Testing (Clause 8.5): You can run full-scale simulation exercises within the app, generating audit trails to prove your testing schedule.
- Documented Information (Clause 7.5): All plans, contact lists, and assembly points are centrally stored within the application.
- Performance Evaluation (Clause 9): The post-incident export of the Contemporaneous Record allows for detailed root-cause analysis and performance review, essential for the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" cycle.
