In short

ISO 22301 certification in Boston at a glance

Boston's coastline gives continuity planning a physical edge. The City has a flood mitigation study under way for the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park on the South Boston waterfront, Massport's Conley Terminal and Logan Airport sit at the water, and hospital suppliers know that an outage reaches patients. ISO 22301 gives a company a method: a business impact analysis, risk assessment, recovery strategies, documented plans and exercises that are actually run. Health IT platforms, port-side operators and financial firms are the usual seekers. Sterling's New York office facilitates the analysis workshops with department heads, drafts the plans, runs the first exercise and prepares the management review before an accredited certification body audits. Local questions follow.

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 Boston: questions clients ask

What kinds of disruption are Boston businesses asked about?

Customers ask about weather and coastal flooding, loss of IT services, supplier failure and staff absence. The City's own planning for flood mitigation in the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park shows waterfront risk is taken seriously, so port-side operators in particular should expect continuity questions.

Does ISO 22301 certification guarantee recovery?

No. It shows that an accredited certification body found a business continuity management system in place, with analysis, strategies, plans and exercises. Recovery in a real event still depends on how well the plans are maintained and rehearsed, which is why management review and testing are part of the standard.
