ISO 22301 certification in Johannesburg at a glance
Johannesburg depends on routes it does not control: the rail line from Durban, the power grid, the fibre running under Sandton. The development agency pitches the inner city as a gateway for financial services networks, and Transnet's Container Corridor delivers freight inland to City Deep, so a disruption anywhere along those paths reaches clients quickly. ISO 22301 gives an organisation a business continuity management system: a business impact analysis, risk assessment, recovery strategies, documented plans, exercises and management review. Sterling's Johannesburg office builds it with operations, IT and facilities leads, runs realistic exercises with your teams and prepares you for an accredited certification body.
Why ISO 22301 in Johannesburg
- Banks, insurers, advisers and technology suppliers in Sandton and the inner cityFinancial services clients expect critical suppliers to show they can keep operating through disruption.
- Importers, hauliers and depot operators dependent on the Durban corridorA rail or road disruption on the container route quickly stops customers' stock.

ISO 22301 in Johannesburg: questions clients ask
Why do Sandton suppliers get asked for ISO 22301?
Because financial clients assess whether critical suppliers can keep serving through outages, and a certified continuity system is an efficient answer. The request comes through due-diligence questionnaires and contracts. Regulatory expectations on the clients themselves are set out on the South Africa page.
What disruptions should a Johannesburg depot plan for?
Power outages, loss of rail or road access, system failure, theft, fire and staff shortages. The business impact analysis ranks them by effect on customers and sets recovery priorities, and exercises test whether the plans work. Include the key suppliers you cannot easily replace.
