ISO 22301 — Business Continuity Management
ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity: identifying what must keep running, how fast it must recover, and proving through exercises that it actually does. It turns "we have a backup" into a tested organisational capability.
The advantage
When — not if — disruption hits, you recover in hours instead of weeks. And you can prove that resilience to the government and financial-sector clients who demand it.
Benefits
- Tested, rehearsed recovery — not paper plans
- Often required in government and financial-services tenders
- Reduces the real cost of downtime and reputational damage
- Clarifies crisis roles before a crisis, when it is cheap to do so
Considerations
- Exercises and tests take genuine operational time
- Plans decay quickly if not maintained after certification
- Recovery investments (redundancy, alternate sites) can carry infrastructure cost
How the project is executed
