What Is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 sets out requirements for business continuity management systems (BCMSs), providing a comprehensive framework that enables organizations to effectively anticipate, prepare, respond, and recover from disruptions. An effective BCMS enables organizations to detect and mitigate potential threats, ensuring the continuity of their operations. ISO 22301 provides requirements that are suitable for every organization regardless of the type, size, or complexity of operations, allowing them to adapt the standard to their unique operating environments. ISO 22301 is particularly useful for organizations aiming to maintain service delivery during disruptions and strengthen their overall resilience.
ISO 22301 serves both as a preventative and evaluative mechanism. As such, it helps organizations assess their capability to meet specific business continuity needs and responsibilities, ultimately contributing to the ongoing stability of operations.
