It provides a framework for identifying potential threats, assessing their impact on operations, and implementing strategies that ensure service continuity during disruptive events. CodeMiners' ISO 22301 certification covers our software development, hosting, and support operations, ensuring that client services are maintained during natural disasters, cyber incidents, infrastructure failures, or other disruptions.
