Description

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is essential for organisations of all sizes and industries. It helps you identify potential risks and vulnerabilities, develop strategies to minimise the impact, and ensure the continuity of critical operations and services in the event of a disruption.  

ISO/IEC 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems. It provides a systematic approach to establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a BCMS and aims to enhance resilience and ensure the continuity of critical operations and services in the face of disruptions.

Why should you use ISO 22301– Security and resilience Business Continuity Management Systems? 

ISO 22301 specifies the structure and requirements for implementing and maintaining a business continuity management system (BCMS).  It covers the outcomes of maintaining a BCMS shaped by legal, regulatory, organisational and industry requirements, products and services provided, processes employed, size and structure of your company/organisation, and the requirements of any interested parties.

By implementing a robust BCM system, you can:

• Reduce downtime and financial losses

• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements: ISO/IEC 22301 provides a recognized framework for demonstrating compliance
• Enhance your risk management capabilities

• Understanding the need, and the necessity for establishing business continuity policies and objectives
• Operating and maintaining processes, capabilities, and response structures for ensuring the organisation will survive disruptions
• Monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS
• Continual improvement based on qualitative and quantitative measures.
