ISO 22301 Compliance Software
Business Continuity Management System. Narrate gives you everything you need to achieve and maintain ISO 22301 certification — business impact analysis, continuity planning, incident response, and exercise management.
What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management systems (BCMS). It provides a framework that helps organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions — whether caused by natural disasters, cyber attacks, supply chain failures, or other unexpected events. The standard requires organisations to identify potential threats, assess their impact on business operations, and implement plans to ensure critical functions continue during and after a disruption.
How Narrate helps with ISO 22301
Common ISO 22301 challenges
Business continuity certification trips up even experienced teams. Here's what slows people down.
Business Impact Analysis Complexity
Identifying all critical activities, mapping dependencies, and determining maximum tolerable periods of disruption across the entire organisation is resource-intensive.
Plan Maintenance
Business continuity plans quickly become outdated as the organisation changes. Keeping plans current and relevant requires continuous review and version control.
Exercise Programme Management
Designing realistic exercises, coordinating participants, and tracking improvement actions from post-exercise reviews demands careful planning and follow-through.
Recovery Time Objectives
Defining and validating recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives requires alignment between business stakeholders and technical teams.
