FAQ

Is the Business Continuity Management System certification stand-alone, or does it integrate with other certifications? ISO 22301 was designed to be compatible with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001. ISO 22301 is based on a plan-do-check-act management system modelled after the proven ISO 9001 framework. Whereas ISO 9001 helps you smoothly run “business as usual”, Business Continuity Management System helps you to quickly get back on track after disruptions. How do you define the scope of Business Continuity Management System? ISO 22301 recommends that businesses define their Business Continuity Management System scope and set objectives with regard to their specific requirements for business continuity; organizational objectives and obligations; acceptable level of risk, statutory, regulatory and contractual duties; and interests of their key stakeholders. In addition to providing Business Continuity Management System certification services, does Bureau Veritas Certification provide this type of training? Yes. This is especially beneficial to companies executing internal Business Continuity Management System audits or to help prepare for a certification. Building internal competencies in Business Continuity Management will speed and smooth the adoption of good practices, ultimately leading to a quicker certification.
