ISO 22301 certification in Durban at a glance
Durban trades through two gates, the harbour and the airport, and any business depending on either needs a plan for the day one is closed. The Port of Durban is a container, automotive and liquid bulk gateway; Dube Cargo Terminal runs round the clock beside King Shaka International Airport; and Dube iConnect offers tenants hosted infrastructure with regional disaster recovery. ISO 22301 gives exporters, freight operators and service providers the discipline to act on it: a business impact analysis, recovery priorities, tested plans and exercise records. Sterling's Johannesburg office facilitates the analysis, builds the plans with your teams and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 22301 in Durban: questions clients ask
Which Durban businesses depend most on a single gateway?
Exporters of vehicles, containers, liquid bulk and perishables depend on the harbour, and time-sensitive air freight depends on the airport cargo terminal. A business impact analysis shows how quickly each customer commitment is hit when a gateway closes, and which alternatives exist. That analysis is the foundation of the plan.
Does a hosted-service provider in Durban need ISO 22301 as well as disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery restores systems; ISO 22301 covers the wider business: people, premises, suppliers and communications, with priorities set by impact analysis. Providers often hold both because clients ask for the technical recovery capability and for evidence that the whole organisation can keep serving them.
