ISO 22301 certification in Vancouver at a glance
A single port serves much of Western Canada's trade, which makes continuity planning more than a paper exercise in Vancouver. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says its terminals handle bulk, container, automobile, breakbulk and cruise traffic across a stretch from Roberts Bank to Burrard Inlet, and any interruption there ripples to shippers across the country. Technology and media firms in Metro Vancouver have their own versions of the problem, with clients depending on hosted services. ISO 22301 sets out how to analyse impacts, choose recovery strategies, write plans and prove them through exercises, under management review. Sterling's Toronto office serves Vancouver; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

- Terminal operators, carriers and forwarders at the portGrain, potash, crude oil, containers and vehicles move through a single gateway, so an outage ripples across supply chains.

ISO 22301 in Vancouver: questions clients ask
What would a Vancouver port-side business exercise under ISO 22301?
Scenarios such as losing a terminal system, a rail or road blockage, a cyber incident, or the loss of key staff. The exercise tests whether recovery strategies and plans work and how long essential activities can be down. Results feed management review and improvement.
Who asks Vancouver technology firms about business continuity?
Enterprise and public-sector clients, through questionnaires and tenders. They ask whether the provider has analysed impacts, set recovery objectives and tested plans. Some accept a documented plan, and some want ISO 22301 certification; the contract wording decides, so ask the customer's procurement or security team before choosing.
