In short

ISO 22301 certification in Glasgow at a glance

Shipyards on the Clyde, satellite builders, a broadcaster headquartered on the river and an airport-side manufacturing district all run operations that are expensive to interrupt. ISO 22301 gives them a method for analysing impacts, setting recovery priorities and exercising plans that customers and insurers can inspect. Regional business support comes from Glasgow City Region and Clyde Gateway, while legal and regulatory detail sits on the United Kingdom page. ISO 22301 builds business continuity through a business impact analysis, recovery strategies, response plans and regular exercises. Sterling prepares Glasgow organisations for ISO 22301 from Sterling's London office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included in the engagement; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

Local drivers

What drives ISO 22301 in Glasgow

Demand is buyer-led: ISO 22301 is requested through customer, tender or supplier terms rather than by a Glasgow authority or zone rule.

Requirements

What ISO 22301 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 22301 requires a company to prove six things about how it keeps operating when something goes wrong.

You know what must keep runningA business impact analysis identifies your priority activities and how quickly each one must be resumed after disruption.
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 Glasgow: questions clients ask

Who in Glasgow is most likely to need ISO 22301?

Two groups stand out: shipbuilders, marine engineers and port operators, where long-running programmes need credible recovery from disruption, and broadcasters and media operators, where live and scheduled output cannot stop for long. It is voluntary unless a customer, tender or regulator makes it a condition.

Why do Clyde shipyard suppliers get asked about continuity?

Naval and commercial vessel programmes run to tight schedules, and a supplier failure can delay work for many parties. The Clyde Maritime Alliance members include large shipbuilders and marine firms, so their suppliers may be asked how they would recover from loss of site, key staff or materials.
