ISO award for business continuity

by Mark Rowe

An ISO 22301 award for business continuity has gone to the guarding and security services supplier Axis Security.

The accreditation specifies the requirements for a business’ management system to protect against anticipated and unanticipated events, whether adverse weather, labour strikes or blackouts, while ensuring it can continue to operate. This also includes business protection from security threats, for minimising any potential effect on clients.

David Mundell, Managing Director of Axis Security, says: “Customers are asking for ISO accreditation in tenders, and a number of industries including healthcare and financial services require business continuity planning. Having the accreditation sends a clear message to existing and potential clients that we have a resilient business,” he continues. “With the auditor emphasising our proactive approach to mitigating risks, we are demonstrating that we have an effective response to incidents.”

About the firm

This latest accreditation is the third to be awarded to the security firm, after ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management (EMS). Visit http://www.axis-security.co.uk.
