In short

ISO 22301 certification in Newcastle at a glance

If the shipping channel into Newcastle closes, grain, coal, steel and containers stop moving, and the effects reach customers far inland. If grid-scale battery storage approved at the Mayfield Multipurpose Terminal, or a future hydrogen project, is disrupted, the consequences are of a different kind. Port of Newcastle's operators, the neighbouring airport and the defence activity at Williamtown each live with such risks. ISO 22301 is the international standard for managing them through a business continuity management system. It asks for an understanding of the organisation, a business impact analysis and risk assessment, continuity strategies and plans, exercising and testing, and management review. Sterling serves Newcastle from its Sydney office, runs the workshops, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

What ISO 22301 requires

You know what must keep runningA business impact analysis identifies your priority activities and how quickly each one must be resumed after disruption.
Leadership owns continuityTop management sets continuity policy and objectives, assigns roles and backs the programme with people and budget.
You assessed what could disrupt youRisks of disruption to priority activities, and to the resources they depend on, are assessed and treated.
Plans are written and readyResponse and recovery plans, and a defined incident response structure, exist for the scenarios that matter most to you.
You have tested themPlans are exercised, and lessons from exercises and real incidents are fed back into them.
You keep the programme currentContinuity performance is evaluated, internal audits and management reviews take place, and the programme improves over time.

ISO 22301 in Newcastle: questions clients ask

What disruptions drive ISO 22301 interest in Newcastle?

Vessel delays, equipment failure, loss of rail or road access, cyber incidents and extreme weather affecting the port, the airport or energy sites. Customers and boards want plans that have been tested rather than only written, and ISO 22301 requires exactly that.

Where does a Newcastle operator begin with business continuity?

With a business impact analysis: the activities that matter most, how long they can stop, and what they rely on. Strategies and plans follow, then exercises. Starting with plan templates tends to produce documents that fail on first contact with a real disruption.
