In short

ISO 22301 certification in Frankfurt am Main at a glance

Ask a Frankfurt bank what happens if its main site goes dark and it will want a documented answer. The city houses the European Central Bank, the Bundesbank and a stock exchange, and the firms around them, from data-centre operators connected to DE-CIX Frankfurt to cargo handlers at Fraport's airport, supply services that customers cannot easily replace. ISO 22301 structures the answer: business impact analysis, risk assessment, continuity strategies and plans, exercising, and review. An accredited certification body issues the certificate, and the standard fits alongside ISO 27001 and ISO 20000-1. Sterling's Frankfurt office runs the impact analysis and the exercises with your teams. Resilience rules for regulated sectors are described on the Germany page.

ISO 22301 in Frankfurt am Main: questions clients ask

Why is business continuity prominent in Frankfurt?

Because many Frankfurt organisations provide services that others depend on, from banking and settlement to internet exchange. Customers of suppliers in that chain ask how they will keep delivering after a disruption. ISO 22301 gives a recognised way to answer, though some customers prefer to audit your plans directly.

Does an airport-linked company in Frankfurt need ISO 22301?

Not automatically. Handlers, forwarders and suppliers around Frankfurt Airport usually adopt it when customers or tenders ask for evidence of continuity planning. If asked, scope it to the services that matter most, then exercise the plans so the certificate rests on tested arrangements.
