ISO 22301
Ensure resilience, protection against disruption, and prove you are prepared.
ISO 22301 – Business Continuity
COVID-19 is a situation that no one could have prepared for. Like most businesses, we’re all adapting to ever-changing situations and finding ways to protect staff and minimise uncertainty. If you’re concerned about the current climate and need advice about how to minimise risk, we’re here to help.
If you’re looking for a framework that will help you create a continuity plan and minimise potential disruptions, ISO 22301 may be a viable option. ISO 22301 helps you to understand and minimise the risks of challenging and unexpected disruptions, actively promoting to all that you are prepared, thus protecting your business, staff, reputation, and future.

IMSM strive to make ISO certification as simple as possible for our clients. To find out how trouble-free it really is, take a look at our simple steps to ISO certification.
Steps to getting ISO 22301 certified
Working towards ISO 22301 certification with IMSM is a trouble-free, step-by-step approach.
- Initial consultation
We help you outline your goals, focusing on what your business wants to achieve and how it defines success, particularly in relation to your client’s requirements. You and your ISO consultants will agree on reasonable outcomes and delivery dates. - Producing your organisation’s ISO 22301 manual system documentation
Next, the IMSM consultant will audit your existing procedures and help you document the new systems that will help deliver success – both existing and how you will improve these. The manual system documentation sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can deliver ISO 22301.
You will be able to view the manual system documentation, along with most other relevant documentation, on our client portal IMSMLoop. It offers a comprehensive insight into the progress of your ISO implementation, along with copies of the relevant audit reports, certifications, and any necessary corrective actions. The portal serves as a central hub for tracking your ISO journey. - Training you to adopt the ISO 22301 framework
While the manual system documentation is a vital document moving forward, it is even more important that it gets put to practical use. We work with the senior management team to ensure the framework is embedded throughout your organisation. We can also develop and deliver tailored training for staff to ensure that the understanding and implementation of ISO 22301 is watertight. This will create consistency across your organisation, transforming your business from day one so it is optimised for efficiency, continual improvement, and greater profitability. - Submission to a third-party external auditor
Before you can be awarded the ISO 22301 certification, your organisation applies to the third-party certifying body that you have selected to conduct your audit. This audit objectively determines whether your business conforms to ISO 22301, and the relevant accompanying documentation is accessible through our client portal, IMSMLoop.
As we have provided excellent support and guidance to your business every step of the way, you can rest assured that your ISO 22301 certification will be successful.
