Qatar - Vodafone awarded newest ISO certificate for business continuity

Doha: Vodafone Qatar has been awarded the newest version of the ISO 22301:2019 International Certification for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), due to the resilience of its high quality GigaNet network, range of services and response to the pandemic.

The certification follows a Transition and Recertification audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and complements Vodafone's existing business continuity management (BCM) standards. At the forefront of the rollout of 5G and fibre networks in Qatar, Vodafone consistently reinforces its position as a global leader in BCM best practices.

Khames Mohammed Alnaimi, Chief Human Resources Officer of Vodafone Qatar noted:“The spread of COVID-19 across Qatar is having a significant impact on our day-to-day lives, changing the way we interact with others, introducing new ways of working and curtailing our movements as we adhere to new measures introduced by Qatar government to limit infection and protect the more vulnerable within our societies. Our Business Continuity Plans have been thoroughly proven and tested to manage any business disruption'. 

Meshaal Mohammed Al Ibrahim, Head of Corporate Security at Vodafone Qatar added:“As a provider of critical connectivity and communications services enabling our digital society, Vodafone committed to offering our services in a fast responsive manner, as a critical part of the pandemic response to this ongoing crisis'. 

As one of the champions of the ISO 22301:2019 standard in Qatar, Vodafone is committed to maintaining the quality of service of networks, providing ultimate network capacity and services for all organisations. Obtaining the BCMS guarantees the continuity of operations from all Vodafone facilities to provide voice, messaging, data and fixed communications across the country.
