ISO 22301 Consultancy Services

End-to-end BCMS consulting — from initial gap analysis through to audit-ready evidence. Every engagement is scoped to your maturity, your risks, and your operating environment.

BCMS Gap Analysis

We assess your current business continuity posture against ISO 22301 requirements to identify precise gaps, prioritise remediation, and build a clear path to compliance.

Business Impact Analysis

Structured BIA that maps critical functions, quantifies disruption impact, and defines recovery time objectives — the foundation every credible BCMS is built on.

Recovery Strategy Design

Recovery strategies and RTO alignment that your teams can actually execute — not theoretical frameworks that sit in a document library untested.

Crisis Management Integration

We design escalation protocols and decision-rights frameworks that connect your crisis management capability directly into your BCMS — so roles are clear when it matters.

Crisis Simulation Exercises

Realistic scenario exercises tailored to your threat profile. We test plans, stress-test teams, and deliver after-action reports that drive measurable improvement.

Audit-Ready Evidence

Complete evidence pack, document set, and evidence index — so your next audit is a demonstration of capability, not a last-minute scramble.

Need specialized expertise for your business continuity planning?

Common Gaps We See

Most organizations have some form of business continuity. The problem is rarely the absence of plans — it is the absence of capability.

Plans exist but are untested or outdated

BCM is treated as compliance, not an operating capability

Roles and decision rights are unclear during disruption

Suppliers and dependencies are not mapped

No evidence pack — audits become a scramble

BIA is incomplete or has never been conducted

Operator-Led, Not Theoretical

Our consultants have built and run BCMS programmes in high-stakes environments across government, military, and Fortune 500 operations. We design frameworks that work because we have operated them ourselves.

Embedded Delivery

Commercial Focus

Every solution aligns with your commercial objectives. Continuity planning strengthens operations and protects competitive advantage — without disrupting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organizations to identify potential threats and their business impact, develop effective response strategies, and build resilience. Implementing ISO 22301 demonstrates to stakeholders, clients, and regulators your commitment to business resilience and can be a competitive advantage in many industries.

A BCMS is the management system that governs how your organization prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disruptions. Under ISO 22301, it includes your continuity policy, business impact analysis, recovery strategies, crisis management plans, exercising programme, and the evidence that ties it all together. A mature BCMS is not a document library — it is an operating capability that your teams can actually run.

Start with a gap analysis against ISO 22301 to understand your current maturity. Conduct a business impact analysis to identify critical functions and recovery time objectives. Design recovery strategies and crisis management procedures that your teams can actually execute. Build plans, train your people, and exercise regularly. The BCMS must produce auditable evidence and improve through each cycle. Most organizations need external support to avoid building a system that looks compliant on paper but fails under pressure.

A BIA identifies which business functions and processes are critical, quantifies the impact of disruption over time, and defines your recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). It is the foundation of every credible BCMS because it determines what you protect first, how quickly you need to recover, and where to allocate resources.

A BIA starts by mapping your critical business functions, their dependencies, and the resources they require. You then assess the financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational impact of losing each function over defined time periods. The output includes prioritised recovery objectives and resource requirements that directly inform your recovery strategies and continuity plans. Effective BIAs require structured interviews with process owners — not just a spreadsheet exercise.

Implementation timeframes vary based on organizational size, complexity, and current maturity. For mid-sized organizations with some existing continuity capabilities, implementation typically takes 6–9 months. Our consultants can provide a more accurate estimate following an initial gap analysis.

ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a structured framework for organizations to identify critical operations, assess risks, and implement strategies that keep essential services running during disruptions — from natural disasters and cyberattacks to supply-chain failures or operational errors. The standard ensures that your organization can respond effectively to incidents, recover quickly, and demonstrate resilience to regulators, customers, and stakeholders.

ISO 22301 helps organizations keep critical services running, make clear decisions under pressure, and respond effectively to disruptions. It provides a structured, auditable approach to continuity, integrates crisis management and communication, and builds a culture of resilience that scales with your business.
