In short

ISO 22301 certification in Berlin at a glance

The capital cannot afford to stop, and its businesses know it. Berlin Brandenburg Airport serves the capital region, BEHALA runs the inland port in the middle of the city, and the banks, fintechs, public bodies and hospitals that Berlin Partner describes depend on systems that have to keep running. ISO 22301 is the business continuity management standard. It asks an organisation to analyse the impact of disruption, define priorities and recovery objectives, build response and recovery plans, exercise them and review the results. It is voluntary, yet customers in finance, logistics, healthcare and technology increasingly ask suppliers to show tested arrangements. Sterling supports the analysis and exercises from its Frankfurt office, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

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 Berlin: questions clients ask

Which Berlin organisations benefit most from ISO 22301?

Those whose customers cannot tolerate long interruptions: fintech and banking service providers, logistics operators, healthcare suppliers and IT hosts. The scope can be narrowed to critical services. Customer contracts or sector rules usually trigger the request rather than any Berlin authority.

How does a Berlin company choose recovery objectives under ISO 22301?

Through a business impact analysis that shows how quickly each activity must return to avoid unacceptable harm, then by checking the objectives are achievable in exercises. The auditor tests that the objectives are justified and that plans are rehearsed and improved.
