ISO 27301 Certificate
What is ISO 27301 Certificate?
ISO 27301 is a standard focused on Business Continuity Management (BCM), especially for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems. It provides a structured framework that helps organizations stay prepared for unexpected disruptions such as security incidents, system failures, or other emergencies. The main goal of ISO 27301 is to ensure that essential business operations can continue without major interruptions, even during adverse situations. This certification enhances an organization’s resilience by planning and managing risks related to ICT infrastructure. While ISO 27001 focuses on Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), ISO 27301 specifically addresses the continuity and recovery of ICT services in the face of various incidents.
