Frequently asked questions

What is ISO 22301:2019 certification?

ISO 22301:2019 specifies the requirements for a business continuity management system. It provides a framework to plan, establish, implement, monitor, review, maintain and improve continuity of operations before, during and after disruptive incidents.

How long does ISO 22301 certification take in India?

With BCP and DR documentation ready, certificates are issued in 14-30 days via non-IAF accredited bodies such as IAS, UAF and ASCB. First-time applicants need 2-4 months of BCMS operation including drills before audit.

Is this Non-IAF accredited?

Yes. This is a non-IAF mark issued by accredited certification bodies including IAS, UAF, ASCB and others. RBI and SEBI accept non-IAF BCMS marks with body accreditation for vendor onboarding.

What is the validity of an ISO 22301 certificate?

Validity is 3 years from issue, subject to annual surveillance audits and a re-certification audit at the end of year 3.

Does ISO 22301 satisfy RBI cyber resilience framework?

It supports compliance but does not replace RBI circulars on cyber resilience. ISO 22301 is widely accepted as benchmark evidence in RBI-regulated entity vendor programs.

Does ISO 22301 cover cyber attack scenarios?

Yes. ISO 22301:2019 explicitly covers cyber-related disruptions alongside natural, technological and supply chain threats.

Can ISO 22301 integrate with ISO 27001?

Yes. Many organisations integrate ISO 22301 BCMS with ISO 27001 ISMS and ISO/IEC 27031 for ICT readiness using shared clauses and management review.

What is the cost of ISO 22301 in Gujarat?

Non-IAF ISO 22301 in India starts from ₹14,999 with annual surveillance at ₹6,999. Final cost depends on critical processes, sites and recovery complexity.
