Information Security and Business Continuity Certifications

Information Security and Business Continuity Certifications

ERM CVS offers independent, globally recognised certification services for ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 42001, helping organisations demonstrate credible information security, AI governance, and operational resilience.

Why information security and business continuity certification matters

Cyber threats are escalating in frequency and sophistication. At the same time, regulatory requirements around data protection, artificial intelligence, and operational resilience are tightening globally, raising the bar for organisations across financial services, healthcare, technology, critical infrastructure, and the public sector. Customers, partners, and investors increasingly expect verifiable evidence that sensitive information is protected, AI systems are governed responsibly, and operations can withstand disruption.

Third-party certification to internationally recognised standards demonstrates that your organisation manages these risks through structured, auditable processes rather than reactive measures. It provides the independent validation that procurement teams, regulators, and boards require when assessing an organisation's resilience and governance posture.

Information security, AI governance, and business continuity are closely interconnected disciplines. A significant proportion of operational and reputational risk now originates from the use of digital technologies and AI systems. Organisations that manage these risks within a coherent governance framework are better equipped to prevent, respond to, and recover from the full spectrum of threats they face.

Our Information Security and Business Continuity Certifications

ISO 27001: Information Security Management System Certification

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's leading standard for information security management systems. It provides a systematic framework for identifying information security risks, implementing controls, and maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets across people, processes, and technology. Certification to ISO 27001 demonstrates that your organisation manages information security risk with rigour and discipline. The standard covers asset management, access control, cryptography, physical security, operations security, supplier relationships, incident management, and continual improvement through regular internal audits and management review. ISO 27001 certification is increasingly required as a condition of enterprise contracts and public sector procurement across technology, financial services, healthcare, legal, and government sectors. ERM CVS provides accredited ISO 27001 certification recognised by organisations and regulators worldwide, with auditors who bring direct expertise in cybersecurity risk and the evolving regulatory landscape.

ISO 42001: Artificial Intelligence Management System Certification

ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for artificial intelligence management systems. It provides a structured governance framework for organisations that develop, deploy, or use AI, helping you demonstrate that AI is managed responsibly, transparently, and in line with emerging regulatory expectations. Certification to ISO 42001 shows that your organisation has clear, auditable controls in place to manage AI-related risks, including bias, lack of explainability, data quality issues, and unintended outcomes. It enables you to embed AI governance into existing management systems, ensuring consistent oversight across the full AI lifecycle, from design and deployment to monitoring and improvement. As regulatory scrutiny increases, ISO 42001 certification is becoming a practical way to demonstrate readiness for frameworks such as the EU AI Act and other evolving requirements. It also supports faster procurement and stronger stakeholder confidence by providing independent assurance that your AI systems are governed, controlled, and aligned with recognised best practice. ISO 42001 is particularly valuable for organisations in technology, financial services, and healthcare, as well as any organisation using AI in decision-making processes that carry operational, regulatory, or reputational risk. ERM CVS provides independent ISO 42001 certification, supported by auditors with expertise in AI governance, data risk, and regulatory compliance.

ISO 22301: Business Continuity Management System Certification

ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management systems. It provides a framework for planning, implementing, and maintaining the capability to continue critical operations during and after disruptive events, whether triggered by cyber incidents, supply chain failures, natural disasters, or infrastructure outages. Certification to ISO 22301 demonstrates that your organisation has defined its critical activities, assessed the impact of disruption, and put in place tested plans for maintaining and restoring operations within defined timeframes. The standard covers business impact analysis, recovery objectives, incident response and crisis communication, exercising and testing, and supply chain resilience. ISO 22301 is essential for organisations in sectors where service continuity is non-negotiable: financial services, critical infrastructure, healthcare, telecommunications, logistics, and public services. It is also increasingly required under operational resilience regulations, including DORA for financial entities operating in the European Union. ERM CVS auditors bring sector-specific expertise in business continuity across these industries.
