In short

ISO 22301 certification in Atlanta at a glance

Atlanta's economy depends on things staying in motion: payments clearing, freight crossing the region's rail and road links, and company headquarters keeping thousands of staff connected. When any of these stops, customers feel it quickly, so they ask suppliers about continuity. ISO 22301 gives the answer a structure: a business impact analysis, risk assessment, recovery strategies, documented plans and exercises that are actually run. The Metro Atlanta Chamber's picture of the region, with payments processors, large supply-chain operators and 29 Fortune 500 and 1000 headquarters, shows where the questions come from. Sterling's New York office facilitates the workshops, drafts the plans and prepares the management review before an accredited certification body audits. Local questions follow.

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 Atlanta: questions clients ask

Why do Atlanta payment firms need business continuity certification?

Because their clients cannot take payments when they are offline. With the Metro Atlanta Chamber describing the region as a global epicentre of payments technology, buyers regularly ask processors and fintechs for evidence of tested recovery plans, and an ISO 22301 certificate provides it in a recognised form.

What disruptions should an Atlanta logistics firm plan for?

Interruption of rail, road or airport links, severe weather, IT or cyber failure, supplier failure and loss of key staff. The business impact analysis ranks them by effect on delivery commitments, and the plans name alternative routes, sites and communications for each critical activity.
