In short

ISO 22301 certification in Hangzhou at a glance

Hangzhou is described by the State Council as an international integrated transport hub, and what moves through it is time-sensitive: air cargo at Xiaoshan, bonded parcels from cross-border sellers and payments for online platforms. When any link fails, orders stall and customers go elsewhere. ISO 22301 gives an organisation a business continuity management system built around impact analysis, which finds the activities that must resume first, then risk assessment, recovery strategies, plans and exercises. Sterling serves Hangzhou from its Shanghai office, facilitates the analysis workshops with operations and IT leaders and runs a rehearsal so the plan has been tested before the certification audit.

Requirements

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 Hangzhou: questions clients ask

Which Hangzhou businesses should look at ISO 22301?

Those whose downtime reaches others quickly: air cargo and bonded logistics firms, payment and fintech platforms, cross-border marketplaces and data operators. A business impact analysis tells each of them which services must return first and in what order. No city authority requires the certificate, so customers and counterparties drive the request.

How are continuity plans tested under ISO 22301?

Through exercises the organisation plans and records: walk-throughs, scenario discussions and technical failovers, with findings fed into corrective actions. Auditors want evidence that plans were tested, that results were reviewed by management and that gaps were closed. A modest, well-documented exercise beats an ambitious one that no one can evidence.
