ISO 22301 certification in London at a glance
A signal failure, a flooded dock road or a cyber attack on a City trading desk all end the same way: customers want to know how long you can be down. ISO 22301 is how London firms with tight dependencies prove their answer has been planned and rehearsed. ISO 22301 is the business continuity management standard: understand which activities matter most, assess risks, plan responses and exercise them before something goes wrong. Sterling prepares the system from its London office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included; the certificate comes from an accredited certification body, and national rules sit on the UK page. National law, regulators and accreditation detail sit on the United Kingdom page rather than here.

ISO 22301 in London: questions clients ask
Does ISO 22301 help London firms with operational resilience rules?
It can help, because both ask a firm to identify what matters most and prove it can keep going. The financial regulators' rules are national and covered on the UK page; ISO 22301 is a voluntary standard that structures the work. Regulated firms should confirm their obligations with the regulator.
Which London operations are most exposed to disruption?
Those tied to fixed gateways: Heathrow handles more cargo than all other UK airports combined, and Thames estuary freight depends on a few terminals. A stoppage there ripples through suppliers and customers. Continuity plans for forwarders and distributors usually start from the dependencies on these gateways.
