Getting started with ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management

Expect the unexpected and plan for it with an ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). Discover how you can adapt the ISO 22301 standard to your organization to manage the risks that threaten the smooth running of your business and ensure its survival in the event of a disruption.

ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management, and builds on the success of British Standard BS 25999 and other regional standards. ISO 22301 is designed to protect your business from potential disruption.  This includes extreme weather, fire, flood, natural disaster, theft, IT outage, staff illness or terrorist attack. The ISO 22301 management system lets you identify threats relevant to your business and the critical business functions they could impact. And it allows you to put plans in place ahead of time to ensure your business doesn’t come to a standstill. 

• Identify and manage current and future threats to your business
• Take a proactive approach to minimizing the impact of incidents
• Keep critical functions up and running during times of crises
• Minimize downtime during incidents and improve recovery time
• Demonstrate resilience to customers, suppliers and for tender requests
