What is it?

ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework to help organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions while continuing to deliver priority products and services at acceptable levels.

Applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors, it supports preparedness for incidents such as technology failures, supply chain interruptions, natural disasters, and loss of access to facilities.

Key areas include business impact analysis, risk assessment, continuity strategies, response and recovery plans, communication, and exercises to evaluate preparedness.
