ISO 22301, Business Continuity Management Systems – Requirements is a management system standard that specifies requirements to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise. It is intended to be applicable to all organizations or parts thereof, regardless of type, size and nature of the organization. This standard was originally developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 223 on societal security and published for the first time in May 2012. It is currently under review in ISO/TC 292 on security and resilience who took over the responsibility of the work when ISO/TC 223 was dissolved.
