ISO 22301 certification in Abu Dhabi at a glance
Khalifa Port's container, RoRo and general cargo terminals, its direct rail connection and the adjoining KEZAD zones make one logistics chain, and a stoppage anywhere in it is a business problem rather than a regulatory one. Hospitals, which must meet ADHICS and keep health information systems available, and ADGM firms, whose regulated clients expect resilient services, face the same question from a different angle. ISO 22301 requires a business impact analysis, recovery strategies, documented plans and exercises, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate. Sterling's Dubai office facilitates the impact-analysis workshops and exercises with your managers, serving Abu Dhabi from Dubai, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included.
Why ISO 22301 in Abu Dhabi
- Operators in the Khalifa Port and KEZAD logistics chainTerminals, rail and zones are interdependent, so disruption spreads.
- Healthcare facilities under ADHICSInformation systems must remain available to protect patient data and care.

ISO 22301 in Abu Dhabi: questions clients ask
Why is continuity planning important around Khalifa Port?
Because the port, its direct rail link and the adjoining KEZAD zones operate as one chain. Terminals handle containers, RoRo and general cargo, and manufacturers next door depend on them. A disruption in one link can stop the others, so impact analysis and recovery planning matter.
Do Abu Dhabi hospitals have to meet a continuity standard?
The records show the Department of Health mandating the ADHICS information and cyber security standard for healthcare facilities, not ISO 22301 specifically. Hospitals still have their own continuity duties, so confirm with the Department what it expects for your facility.
