In short

ISO 22301 certification in Manama at a glance

Disruption looks different from each corner of Manama. For a bank or insurer near the Diplomatic Area or Bahrain Financial Harbour it means payments and trading halted. For a distributor in Hidd's Bahrain Logistics Zone it means a closed gate at Khalifa Bin Salman Port. For an express carrier at Bahrain International Airport it means a stalled cargo terminal. ISO 22301 gives each the same discipline: understand which activities matter most, analyse the impact of losing them, choose recovery strategies, write the plans and exercise them. Sterling builds the system with your management team from Dubai and prepares it for assessment, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

What ISO 22301 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 22301 requires a company to prove six things about how it keeps operating when something goes wrong.

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 Manama: questions clients ask

What is the continuity risk for a business using the logistics zone at Hidd?

Dependence on one port and one road corridor. Goods reach the zone through Khalifa Bin Salman Port, so a berth, gate or road disruption affects every tenant. A continuity plan sets recovery priorities, alternative routings and customer communication, and tests them by exercise.

Do suppliers to Manama financial firms need ISO 22301?

Only if the institution's due diligence asks for it. Firms around the Diplomatic Area and Financial Harbour assess how suppliers would sustain a service during disruption, and certification is one form of evidence among others. Read the supplier questionnaire before deciding.
