UK IT and workarea recovery provider, Phoenix has achieved certification to the new international business continuity standard ISO 22301.

Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance certified that Phoenix meets all the requirements of the standard, which applies to all of the Phoenix recovery centres across the UK, including the main administration office in Aston in the West Midlands. Phoenix had already been certified against the earlier BS 25999 standard since 2010.

“Over 1,600 organisations including some of the largest household names, rely on our services to keep their data securely backed up and ready to recover, provide user access to their corporate systems during a business interruption and a place ready for staff to work from if they can’t access their usual office," said Mike Osborne, managing director of Phoenix’s business continuity unit.

"Now we’re accredited, we’re eager to work with our customers to help them achieve this important standard – to help plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve their business continuity management systems.”

“Achieving the standard is a fantastic milestone for us at Phoenix and clearly demonstrates to legislators, regulators, customers, prospective customers and other interested parties that we are committed to and continue to adhere to good practice in business continuity management."
