Global Energy Up is an independent certification body for management systems and a validation and verification body for greenhouse-gas information. We audit and decide; we do not consult.
ISO 22301:2019
Business continuity management
Continuity is proven in the exercise, not in the plan.
ISO 22301 certification demonstrates that an organization can continue to deliver its products and services at acceptable levels during and after a disruption.
Who it is for. Financial services, utilities, telecommunications, logistics, healthcare and any organization whose customers depend on uninterrupted delivery.
- Business impact analysis and prioritised activities
- Risk assessment of disruption
- Business continuity strategies and solutions
- Business continuity plans and incident response structure
- Exercise programme and evaluation of results
- Evaluation of business continuity documentation and capabilities
Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.
How the audit runs
Audit time is determined on the basis of ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 clause 9.1.4 and the audit-time rules applicable to the scheme. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.
01.
Stage 1
Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.
02.
Stage 2
On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.
03.
Decision & surveillance
An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.
Why organizations seek it
01
Continued delivery during disruption
02
Faster, controlled recovery
03
Confidence of customers and regulators
04
Better understanding of critical dependencies
Certification gives independent confidence in the system; it does not by itself guarantee any commercial outcome.
Edition and transition
Audits are conducted against ISO 22301:2019, the current edition.
Auditing with other standards
Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.
- What do I need to apply?
- Why do you ask about consultancy?Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
- Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
