ISO 22301 certification in Ottawa at a glance
An Ottawa security operations provider is judged by its uptime, and a telecom software supplier by whether its customers' networks keep running. Why Ottawa reports cybersecurity work across more than 180 federal agencies and a long-established telecom cluster, so buyers with strict expectations are normal. ISO 22301 is the business continuity standard built around those expectations: analyse the impact of disruption, choose recovery strategies, write plans for incidents and recovery, then test them with exercises, under management review. It combines with ISO 27001 to cover information and operations. Sterling's Toronto office facilitates workshops and exercises with Ottawa teams, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22301 in Ottawa: questions clients ask
Who asks Ottawa suppliers about business continuity?
Public-sector clients, defence integrators and carriers, usually through tenders and supplier due diligence. They ask whether the supplier has analysed impacts, set recovery objectives and tested plans. Some accept documented plans; others want ISO 22301 certification. The contract wording decides.
How does ISO 22301 relate to ISO 27001 for an Ottawa security firm?
ISO 27001 protects information, including availability, while ISO 22301 covers the wider ability to keep operating through disruption, including people, premises and suppliers. They share structure, so many firms run both under one audit programme. The impact analysis from ISO 22301 also feeds IT recovery planning.
