ISO 22301 is the leading international standard for Business Continuity. Through an holistic management process, it describes and determines the requirements for the design, implementation, monitoring, review, maintenance and continuous improvement of a Business Continuity management system, in order to ensure continuous provision of services to the organisation’s customers following a possible disruption of its operation.

Detailed Description

When an organisation’s operation is disrupted due to an unexpected event or a sudden disaster, its ability to react rapidly and efficiently is the key to its survival. The ISO 22301 standard assists an organisation to adopt and establish the core principles of a Business Continuity Management (BCM) system. Its goal is to protect the personnel, safeguard the interests of the parties concerned, as well as the reputation and commercial value of an organisation, by increasing its resilience against risks or business threats that may affect the organisation’s operation.

The requirements set out in ISO 22301 may be implemented by any organisation, regardless of its type, nature or size. Organisations facing natural or environmental disasters, as well as events of technological failure or human negligence, can create Business Continuity mechanisms, plans and processes which they will be able to implement, if needed, in order to ensure their unhindered operation.
