What is ISO 22301 code of practice?
It provides a framework for organizations to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure recovery from disruptive incidents.
A BCMS aligned with the international standard, ISO 22301, will ensure your BCPs remain up to date and become part of your organization's culture. It will help you to effectively and continually mitigate BCM risks and adopt an integrated approach to managing business continuity.
Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made and if positive, then certification to the required standard is issued by NQA.
