ISO 22301 - Business Continuity Management Systems

ISO 22301 is an internationally recognized standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) that helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents while ensuring the continuity of critical operations. It provides a clear and systematic framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, and continually improving business continuity processes to reduce the impact of events such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, technology failures, and supply chain disruptions.

Applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors, ISO 22301 enables businesses to identify risks and vulnerabilities through risk assessments and business impact analysis, and to develop, implement, and test effective continuity and recovery plans. Strong leadership involvement and proper resource allocation are emphasized to ensure organizational readiness.

By implementing ISO 22301, organizations strengthen resilience, minimize downtime and financial losses, and improve overall risk management. Certification demonstrates a commitment to reliable service delivery, compliance with legal and contractual requirements, and long-term sustainability, while building confidence among customers, partners, regulators, and other stakeholders.
