Business Continuity Management/ ISO 22301 Gap Analysis

With our ISO 22301 Gap Analysis you will be provided with an informed assessment of the:

• Gaps in your business continuity management arrangement against the  best practice standard, ISO 22301
• Proposed scope of your business continuity management system (BCMS)
• Internal resource requirements for successfully deploying a BCMS project
• Potential timeline to achieve certification readiness.

What your Gap Analysis with IT Governance will deliver

An ISO 22301 specialist will interview key managers, assess your current BCM arrangements, and review your existing BCM policies and procedures for relevancy, effectiveness and efficiency to determine any potential areas for improvement against the requirements of ISO 22301.

You will then receive a gap analysis report that collates the findings of this assessment. The report will detail areas requiring compliance and improvement, as well as providing further recommendations for compliance with ISO 22301.

The gap analysis report includes:

• An analysis of the overall state and maturity of your business continuity arrangements;
• Specific details of the gaps between the current business continuity arrangements and the requirements of ISO 22301;
• Options for the scope of an effective ISO 22301-compliant BCMS, and how these options help to meet your business and strategic objectives;
• An action plan that outlines and indicates the level of internal management effort required to implement and maintain an ISO 22301-compliant BCMS; and
• A compliance status report (red/amber/green) against the management system clauses (clause-by-clause), as well as the business continuity controls (control-by-control) described in ISO 22301:2012.
