ISO 22301:2019
Business Continuity Management Systems
ISO 22301:2019 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems. It provides a comprehensive framework that helps organisations prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents. The standard outlines how to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a business continuity plan that ensures critical operations can continue even during unexpected events.
By adopting ISO 22301:2019, organisations ensure they have reliable processes, trained personnel and clear recovery strategies that enable them to deliver essential services without interruption.
Why Is ISO 22301:2019 Important
ISO 22301:2019 is recognised globally as the leading standard for organisational resilience. It strengthens a company’s ability to anticipate potential threats, minimise their impact and resume normal operations quickly. As part of the ISO 22300 family which focuses on security and resilience, ISO 22301:2019 is the primary standard that organisations can choose to certify to, though certification is not compulsory.
Implementing ISO 22301:2019 offers the following business benefits
• Operational resilience. Organisations are equipped to handle disruptions such as cyber attacks, system failures, natural disasters or supply chain breakdowns, ensuring continuity of essential functions.
• Enhanced customer confidence. Clients trust companies that can demonstrate strong preparedness and stable service delivery under all conditions.
• Risk reduction. The standard helps identify potential vulnerabilities and implement preventive measures that reduce operational and financial risks.
• Faster recovery. Clear recovery procedures allow organisations to resume operations quickly, reducing downtime and protecting revenue.
• Continuous improvement. Regular reviews, testing and updates ensure the business continuity plan remains effective, relevant and aligned with evolving threats.
