Convergence of ISO 27001 and ISO 22301

We have a project to determine the feasibility in convergence of ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 by creating a single policy for both standards. Alternatively we would like to create an overarching policy which would describe our process for both standards. Can you advise how this can be achieved and whether you have a toolkit which can assist with this goal.

Answer: First of all, you need to understand that you cannot achieve convergence with a single document. Both management systems are composed by many different subprocesses that would make unpractical and very confusing to centralize them in a single document.

That said, ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 have many similar requirements, which makes easier to integrate them. Considering the possibility of integration, I suggest you to take a look in the free demo of our ISO 27001 & ISO 22301 Premium Documentation Toolkit, which can help you implement both standards. You can access the free demo at this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/iso-27001-22301-premium-documentation-toolkit/ .
