Survive disruption. Reassure boards. Prove Resilience.
ISO 22301 is the global standard for business continuity — the evidence your board, insurer and enterprise clients need that you can keep trading through cyber attacks, outages and supply-chain shocks. Get certified fixed-fee, UKAS accredited.
Business Continuity Management
Board & regulator recognised.
Four regulatory and commercial drivers reshaping resilience
Australian businesses face a wave of new operational resilience obligations. ISO 22301 gives you a single, internationally recognised framework that satisfies regulators, boards, insurers and enterprise buyers in one structured system.
Operational risk for financial services
Banks, insurers and super funds must identify critical operations, set tolerance levels and test disruption scenarios. ISO 22301's BIA and testing requirements map directly to CPS 230 obligations.
Critical infrastructure resilience
Operators of assets in energy, water, transport, data storage, healthcare and food must maintain a Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program. ISO 22301 delivers the structured continuity evidence.
Disruption is the new normal
From ransomware and cloud outages to floods, fires and supply-chain shocks — boards are demanding proof that critical services can be restored within defined recovery times.
Win bigger contracts
Federal, state and enterprise procurement increasingly ask for ISO 22301 or equivalent. Certification unlocks government panels, large corporates and export markets.
Lower premiums, better cover
Insurers reward organisations with documented, tested continuity plans. Certification supports cyber, business interruption and D&O coverage negotiations.
Demonstrable governance
An externally audited BCMS gives directors and executives defensible evidence of due diligence — increasingly expected under ASX governance principles and director duties.
Sectors where ISO 22301 is now expected
Banking & Finance
ADIs, insurers, super funds under APRA CPS 230.
Energy & Utilities
Electricity, gas, water — SOCI Act critical infrastructure.
Healthcare
Hospitals, aged care, pathology, medical device suppliers.
Retail & FMCG
Supply-chain continuity for food, pharmacy and consumer goods.
Logistics & Transport
Ports, freight, airlines — critical supply-chain nodes.
Construction & Infra
Government tenders increasingly mandate continuity evidence.
Government & Councils
Federal, state and local authorities with critical services.
without a tested BCMS fail to recover fully
Resilience that pays back in trust, tenders and premiums
ISO 22301 isn't a paperwork exercise — it's a system that gets tested. Organisations that certify consistently report faster recovery times, better board confidence, and a measurable commercial edge.

ISO 22301 — answered
Does ISO 22301 satisfy APRA CPS 230?
ISO 22301 maps strongly to CPS 230's operational risk management, business continuity and service-provider requirements — especially around identifying critical operations, setting tolerance levels and testing. While APRA may require additional specific evidence, certification gives regulated entities a defensible, audit-ready framework.
How long does certification take?
For small to mid-sized organisations, 4–6 months is typical. Larger enterprises with multiple sites or complex operations often take 6–9 months. Our fixed-fee methodology gives you a clear timeline upfront.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on organisation size, site count, and existing maturity. IMSM works on an all-inclusive fixed fee — no hourly billing, no scope creep — quoted after a short discovery call. Contact us for an indicative range.
We already have ISO 27001. Does that help?
Absolutely. ISO 27001 and 22301 share the Annex SL high-level structure, so governance, leadership, risk and internal audit clauses integrate. Many clients certify both together for efficiency.
Is the certificate recognised internationally?
Yes. IMSM delivers UKAS-accredited ISO 22301 certification — recognised across the Commonwealth, EU, US and Asia-Pacific. This matters for Australian exporters, multinationals and organisations bidding on global contracts.
What's the difference between a BCP and ISO 22301?
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a document. ISO 22301 is the management system that produces, tests, maintains and improves that plan over time — with documented evidence auditors, regulators and insurers recognise.
