Having retained the BSI (British Standards Institute) ISO 22301 certification, Premium Credit can verify its maintenance of an effective BCMS {Business Continuity Management System}. The award has been made following the business’ ongoing ability to meet the BSI’s exacting criteria to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure its business operations can recover from a wide variety of disruptive incidents.

The successful completion of the surveillance audit validated the approach Premium Credit has taken in implementing and managing its Business Continuity arrangements, following best practice and adhering to current standards.

Commitment has been demonstrated through resourcing, processes and procedures with systems in place to support People, Premises, IT and Supply Chain. The recertification shows that Business Continuity is well integrated within the business’ strategy and that colleagues remain engaged and have good levels of awareness.

Duncan Gray, Premium Credit’s Chief Information Officer commented: “Undertaking the stringent ISO 22301 testing process is an important annual examination of our operational procedures ensuring we are best placed to minimise harm in the event of significant business interruption should this happen.

Our existing Business Continuity arrangements put us in a strong position when dealing with COVID-19 and as the ongoing ISO 22301 award affirms, we are well placed to support our community of customers and partners to the highest of standards whatever adverse, operational situations we face.”
