ISO22301 is established to address business continuity management and to contribute making organisations regardless of their size, location or activity, to be better prepared and more confident to handle disruption of any type, making them more resilient. Business continuity management system will assist you to create and establish a continuity plan and minimise and control potential disruptions in the future.
What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 specifies requirements to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a documented management system to help organisations protect against, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise.
The requirements specified in ISO 22301 are generic and intended to be applicable to all organisations, regardless of type, size and nature of the business. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the context of the organisation as well as its operating environment and complexity.
Incidents can disrupt an organisation at any time and applying BCMS will ensure that organisations can respond and continue its operations. Incidents take many forms ranging from large scale natural disasters and acts of terror to technology-related accidents and environmental incidents. However, most incidents are small but can have a significant impact and that makes business continuity management relevant at all times.
This has led to a global awareness that organisations in the public and private sectors must know how to prepare for and respond to unexpected and disruptive incidents.
The benefits of ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 will assist organisations in the design of a BCMS that is appropriate to its needs and meets its stakeholders’ requirements. These needs are shaped by legal, regulatory, organisational and industry factors, the organisation's products and services, its size and structure, its processes, and its stakeholders.
