ISO 22301 Business Continuity

Practice: Cybersecurity · Type: Standard

ISO 22301 is the international standard for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), specifying requirements to plan for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents.

Benefits​

  • Scored on ISO 22301's own scale — not a generic rubric.
  • Every score is traceable to the client's own continuity evidence.
  • Gaps ranked by severity across the BCMS lifecycle.
  • A board-ready slide deck and a detailed report generated automatically.
  • Re-runnable as continuity plans are exercised and matured.

When to use it​

  • Before committing to an ISO 22301 certification audit.
  • When a client needs to demonstrate resilience to disruptive incidents.
  • To validate business impact analysis, strategies and plans are in place.
  • To re-baseline the BCMS after an exercise or a real incident.

FAQ​

What is ISO 22301 Business Continuity?​

The international standard for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), ISO 22301 lays out the requirements organisations follow to plan for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents.

What does a Celeredge ISO 22301 assessment deliver?​

An evidence-based readiness assessment scored on the standard's own scale, with gaps ranked by severity and an auto-generated, board-ready slide deck and detailed report — every score traceable to the evidence behind it.

How does the assessment work?​

Clients upload their own evidence — policies, reports and data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing, the platform scores against the framework, ranks the gaps, and generates the deliverables.

Celeredge runs an independent readiness and alignment review against this framework. It is not a certification audit and is not endorsed by the standard's owner. Framework and standard names are trademarks of their respective owners.
