ISO 22301 for startups. From $2,000.

The continuity certificate buyers ask for alongside ISO 27001 when downtime costs them. An ISO 22301 certificate is issued by an independent accredited certification body, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for ISO 22301.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Business impact analysisWhich products and processes matter most, how long each can be down, and what it costs when it is, built from your own answers.
Continuity and recovery plansRecovery time and recovery point objectives per system, the plans to hit them, and the roles that run them when something breaks.
Exercise and test recordsA tabletop exercise, a restore test and the lessons learned from each, recorded the way a certification body expects to see them.

How ISO 22301 runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Describe how you operate in an afternoon

    The intake covers your critical services, dependencies, cloud regions, vendors and the people who would respond in an outage.

  2. Step 2

    Gap analysis against ISO 22301

    A deterministic analysis maps your answers to the standard's clauses and lists the artifacts still missing: impact analysis, plans, exercises, supplier arrangements.

  3. Step 3

    Draft plans and build the binder

    The business impact analysis, continuity plans and exercise templates are drafted from your answers. You run the exercise, then attach the record to the binder.

  4. Step 4

    Certify with an accredited body

    An accredited certification body, arranged through partner firms, reviews documentation in Stage 1, tests operation in Stage 2 and issues the certificate.

What ISO 22301 costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

$2,000 one time for platform onboarding.

That is the intake, the gap analysis, your policies, the evidence binder and the handoff package.

An ISO 22301 certificate is arranged with an independent accredited certification body and quoted before it begins.

ISO 22301 certificates are issued only by an accredited certification body after Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits arranged through partner firms. Polara Labs prepares the continuity program and is never the certifying body.

Polara Labs is not a certification body. Certification audits are performed by independent accredited certification bodies.

ISO 22301 questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

Platform onboarding starts at $2,000 and covers the gap analysis, business impact analysis, continuity plans and evidence binder. The certification body's Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits are arranged through partner firms and priced separately.
Usually yes. Both share the same management system clauses, and ISO 27001 already requires some continuity planning, so scoping them together means one risk register, one internal audit and one audit visit instead of two.
Financial services, telecoms, logistics and public-sector buyers whose own regulators expect proof that suppliers can keep running through an outage. It shows up in tender requirements more than in sales conversations.
No. Only an accredited certification body can issue an ISO 22301 certificate and it must be independent of whoever prepared you. We build the plans and evidence; the body audits them.

Unblock the deal.

Tell us where you are with ISO 22301 and we will tell you what is left.

Polara Labs builds both sides of the audit: the readiness platform startups use to earn a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate or whatever their buyers ask for, and the practice OS audit firms use to run the examination. Every price is published on the page it belongs to.
