What is a Business Impact Analysis?

A BIA identifies your organisation's critical activities, their dependencies, and the impact of disruption over time. It is a core requirement of ISO 22301 and forms the basis of your continuity strategy.

Does ISO 22301 cover cyber incidents?

Yes — it covers all types of disruptive incidents including cyber attacks, natural disasters, pandemics, supply chain failures, and key personnel loss. It complements ISO/IEC 27001 for information security.

Who needs ISO 22301 in Egypt?

Organisations in Egypt that depend on continuous availability — banks, fintech and ICT providers, hospitals, public-sector suppliers, data centres, telecoms, and critical-infrastructure operators — pursue ISO 22301:2019 to demonstrate disciplined planning for cyber incidents, pandemics, supply-chain shocks, natural disasters, and outages.

How long does ISO 22301 certification take in Egypt?

For an organisation in Egypt with an existing business-continuity programme aligned to ISO 22301, the full Stage 1 + Stage 2 cycle takes 6–10 weeks. Organisations starting from scratch typically need 4–9 months to develop the BCMS before they are audit-ready.

How does the certification process work in Egypt?

CAS follows the ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 process: application & fixed-cost proposal → Stage 1 readiness review (off-site or on-site) → Stage 2 implementation audit (on-site at your Egypt facilities) → independent technical review → certification decision → certificate issuance with QR-verifiable record on cas.com.eg/certsearch. Surveillance audits run annually for the 3-year cycle.

Is the CAS certificate recognised in Egypt?

Yes. CAS is accredited by EGAC (Egyptian Accreditation Council, CAB #012418 B) and EGAC is a signatory to the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA). Under the MLA, certificates issued by CAS are mutually recognised by accreditation bodies and customers in over 100 countries — including Egypt — as equivalent to those issued by any other IAF MLA-recognised body.

On-site or remote review of your management system documentation, readiness assessment, and confirmation of Stage 2 audit scope and plan.

Stage 2 — On-site Audit

Full on-site audit of the implemented management system against the standard's requirements. Findings are reported; nonconformities must be closed before certification.
