ISO 22301 & Business Continuity Gap Analysis

ISO 22301 gap analysis service

Receive an expert assessment of how effective your BCPs (business continuity plans) and procedures are against the international standard ISO 22301, which outlines the specification for a best-practice BCMS (business continuity management system).

Conducted by our team of BCM (business continuity management) experts, this service will assess your current BCM arrangements to ensure your organisation is fully prepared to handle a disruptive incident. It will also help you develop a convincing business case for implementing a BCMS, and equip you with the skills required for implementation.

Why do you need a business continuity gap analysis?

The business continuity gap analysis delivers:

• A detailed assessment of your current business continuity plans;
• A clear outline of the proposed scope for your BCMS project;
• Realistic project expectations based on the specific requirements of your organisation; and
• Detailed and customised information necessary to develop a strong business case for implementation.

What should you expect from the business continuity gap analysis?

You will be assigned an expert consultant who will work with you on:

• Conducting interviews with key managers and other individuals;
• Assessing existing BCM policies and procedures for relevancy, effectiveness and efficiency;
• Pinpointing potential areas for improvement to ensure your organisation has comprehensive business continuity plans; and
• Collating the findings into a gap analysis report and detailing areas for improvements and recommendations for your next steps.
