Andy Systems conducts a thorough BC gap analysis against the ISO 22301 standard, which is widely recognized as a benchmark for best practices in business continuity management. Our approach to the gap analysis involves a comprehensive review of your BCMS documentation, including policies, business impact analysis (BIA), risk assessment, BC strategy, plans, procedures, exercising program, and audit plan. We also conduct interviews with key individuals responsible for your organization's BCM approach.

The primary objective of the gap analysis is to identify areas where your organization already meets best practices and areas where compliance with the ISO 22301 standard needs improvement. Through a combination of checklist assessments and interviews with employees at all levels of operations and management, we gather valuable insights into your current work procedures. We conduct site visits to your headquarters and locations where products and services are provided to observe and analyze the existing operations.

During the gap analysis, we assess the conformity and compliance of your current work procedures with the requirements of the ISO 22301 standard. We also identify any relevant technical specifications, regulations, legal requirements, and national legislation that govern your organization's operations. This comprehensive assessment allows us to determine the gaps between your current situation and the desired level of compliance with the ISO 22301 standard.

Based on the findings of the gap analysis, we provide you with a clear understanding of the areas where your organization is already compliant and those that require remediation. Our experienced consultants recommend the most suitable remediation approach to help you bridge the identified gaps and achieve full compliance with the ISO 22301 standard.

By conducting a thorough analysis and providing actionable recommendations, we assist you in strengthening your business continuity management practices, aligning them with established best practices, and ensuring the resilience and continuity of your operations.
