What is ISO 22301?

ISO 22301:2019 specifies requirements for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents.

From natural disasters to cyber-attacks and supply-chain failures, a BCMS helps your organization maintain critical functions and recover quickly — safeguarding revenue, reputation and stakeholders.

  • Impact analysis — identify critical activities and recovery priorities.
  • Tested response — prepared, exercised plans for disruptive events.
  • Fast recovery — minimize downtime and protect stakeholders.
