- 1Scope
Define which sites, teams, processes and systems ISO 22301 will cover.
- 2Gap assessment
Compare what you do today with every ISO 22301 requirement and list what is missing.
- 3Documents
Write the policies, procedures and records ISO 22301 expects, starting with the business impact analysis.
- 4Implement and collect evidence
Put the processes into daily work and capture proof that they run, on a schedule.
- 5Internal review
Check readiness with an internal audit or self-assessment, and close the findings.
- 6Certification audit
An accredited certification body runs a stage 1 document review and a stage 2 audit, then issues the certificate. Surveillance audits follow every year.

How long does ISO 22301 implementation take?

Core documents usually include: business impact analysis, risk assessment, continuity plans, exercise reports. AMS drafts them from your actual processes and keeps them under version control.
Can ISO 22301 be combined with other standards?
Yes. ISO 22301 is often run together with ISO 45001, ISO 37001, ISO 28000. AMS maps shared requirements, so one record can count toward several standards.
