ISO 22301 is an international benchmark that helps organizations develop resilience within their operations to ensure their preparedness to respond to and manage disruptive events, and achieve efficient recovery of business operations.  

This standard can be used by any organization, regardless of its size, scope, the field of business, public or private, to develop and implement a business continuity management system based on accepted international best practices.

ISO 22301 will help organizations understand the business impact of their various products, services, processes, and activities, and develop lists of prioritized products and services based on business value and requirements. A robust risk management process will help the organization understand the risks associated with its products and services and the impacts of any disruptive events on its business. A business continuity management system will ensure that the organization has strategies and plans to manage disruptive events and ensure the continuity of its business operations and efficient recovery after the disruptive event.
