Our commitment to resilience: A&O IT Group achieves ISO 22301 certification
At A&O IT Group, our dedication to excellence and operational resilience has once again been recognised with the completion of ISO 22301 certification for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). This milestone underscores our commitment to delivering uninterrupted, high-quality services to our customers, regardless of the challenges that come our way.
What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 is an internationally recognised standard that outlines the requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS). It provides a framework for organisations to plan, implement, monitor, and continually improve their business continuity strategies. This ensures that critical operations can continue during and after a disruption, safeguarding our business interests and those of our stakeholders.
Why does ISO 22301 matter?
In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable business environment, the ability to respond effectively to disruptions is crucial. Whether dealing with natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or other unforeseen events, having robust business continuity measures in place is essential to limit downtime and minimise financial loss.

The journey to achieving ISO 22301 certification involved a rigorous assessment process where every aspect of our business continuity strategies was assessed. Our expert team worked to align our processes with the necessary requirements of the ISO standard, ensuring that our business continuity plans are not only compliant but also effective.
