ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management
ISO 22301 BCMS gap assessment, implementation, and certification readiness so your organisation can withstand disruption and recover with confidence.

Who needs ISO 22301 in Saudi Arabia
ISO 22301 certification demonstrates that your Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) can keep critical operations running through disruption - increasingly a tender and regulatory expectation in the Kingdom.
Saudi enterprises pursue ISO 22301 for practical reasons: SAMA-regulated entities face operational-resilience expectations, government tenders increasingly require certification, and NCA-linked programmes expect incident and continuity readiness that a structured BCMS provides. Certification through an accredited body typically follows a two-stage audit and requires documented, tested, and management-reviewed continuity arrangements.
How we help with ISO 22301
Designed as a full consulting engagement - not a document dump.
BIA & strategy
Business impact analysis and continuity strategies.
Plans & playbooks
Clear response and recovery procedures.
Exercises
Tabletops and tests that reveal real gaps.
Certification path
Documentation and readiness for ISO 22301 audits.
What ISO 22301 certification requires
- Business impact analysis - documented recovery priorities tied to real business processes and their tolerances.
- Risk assessment - disruption scenarios assessed for likelihood and impact, feeding strategy selection.
- Continuity strategies and plans - response structures, recovery procedures, and resource arrangements for priority activities.
- Exercising and testing - evidence that plans work: tabletop exercises, technical recovery tests, and scenario drills.
- Internal audit and management review - a functioning Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle with documented improvement actions.
- Leadership commitment - policy, objectives, and resourcing visible from executive management.
The most common certification delays are thin business impact analyses, untested plans, and missing management-review records - exactly the areas our consultants strengthen first.
Typical engagement flow
A typical BCMS engagement moves from impact analysis to embedded, exercised plans.
Analyse
Identify critical activities and dependencies.
Design
Set RTOs/RPOs and continuity strategies.
Embed
Publish plans, train teams, and run exercises.
Improve
Review results and prepare for certification if required.
