ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management Systems

⇒ What is ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management Systems)?

ISO 22301:2019 specifies requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS). It helps organizations prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents.

A BCMS brings together business impact analysis, risk assessment, continuity strategies, response plans, exercises and improvement. The approach should reflect the organization’s activities and the impacts it is prepared to accept.

The standard applies to organizations of different sizes and sectors. A management system supports preparedness; it cannot guarantee uninterrupted operations or a specific recovery outcome.
