Industries we serve

Manufacturing

Manufacturers live with thin inventories, deep supplier tiers and production assets that cannot simply fail over, which makes disciplined continuity a competitive weapon.

Practitioner led since 2014 Led by John Zeppos, Founder and Group Managing Director DRI Accredited training provider Three BCI Global Awards 16+ EU Horizon research projects Trusted to train 3 of the Big Four

The regulatory drivers

Manufacturers meet resilience regulation mostly through their customers: NIS2 flow down, DORA when supplying financial entities, and OEM continuity clauses. ISO 22301 certification is increasingly the ticket to the shortlist rather than a differentiator.

The threat profile we plan against

  • Production concentration. Lines, tooling and skilled teams that have no duplicate anywhere in the group.
  • Supplier tiers. Tier 2 and 3 dependencies invisible to procurement until the day they stop.
  • Cyber-physical convergence. Ransomware that reaches MES and shop floor systems stops physical output within hours.
  • Customer flow down. OEM and enterprise customers increasingly audit supplier continuity and demand ISO 22301.

Proof in this sector
Frequently asked questions
Our customers are auditing our continuity. Where do we start?

With a business impact analysis of the products and lines those customers depend on, then a plan and an exercise you can evidence. We regularly take manufacturers from zero to a credible audited position within months.

Can you help with supplier mapping?

Yes, including tier 2 and 3 mapping for the inputs your critical products depend on, with realistic alternatives and stock strategies rather than a spreadsheet nobody maintains.

Does ISO 22301 make sense for a mid-sized plant?

Often yes, when customers ask for it or the plant is genuinely critical to the group. Where certification is premature, a certifiable-but-uncertified programme delivers most of the value at lower cost.
