When it comes to demonstrating to stakeholders that an organization can rapidly overcome operational disruptions to provide continued and effective service, ISO 22301 certification should be high on your priority list. Writing for Data Center Dynamics, Fusion Risk Management’s Roland Kelly discusses the commitment to achieving ISO 22301 certification, the first ISO standard focused on business continuity.

- Obtaining certification, then preparing for the first surveillance audit.
