The international standard for business continuity management systems, in ADOX’s own words.
ISO 22301:2019, Security and resilience, Business continuity management systems, Requirements, is the international standard for a business continuity management system (BCMS). It sets out a framework to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a documented management system that protects against, reduces the likelihood of and ensures recovery from disruptive incidents. It replaced ISO 22301:2012, and the standard itself is bought from ISO.
ISO 22301:2019, edition 2.
October 2019.
Under systematic review, with a revised edition being developed. It has one amendment, Amendment 1 (2024), on climate action changes.
Developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 292 Security and resilience.
21 pages.
ISO 22301:2012.
Organisations face unforeseen disruption. ISO 22301 exists to build organisational resilience against it, to keep operations and services running, to identify risks early, to prepare for emergencies and to improve recovery time. It gives the discipline that holds when disruption arrives.
Enhances organisational resilience against disruption.
Improves risk management processes.
Brings a systematic response to crises.
Increases trust among stakeholders.
ISO 22301 is written for organisations of all sizes, and it integrates with other ISO management standards. Related ISO publications include ISO 22313:2020, which gives guidance on using ISO 22301, and the broader family of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 31000.
ISO 22313:2020 gives guidance on the use of ISO 22301. In practice a BCMS built to ISO 22301 sits naturally beside the BCI Good Practice Guidelines (GPG 7.0) and the UAE NCEMA 7000 standard. See ADOX’s BCMS Framework Review page, the BCM Maturity Model page and the What is Business Continuity? guide.
ADOX develops its consulting and training solutions in adherence to ISO 22301, UAE NCEMA 7000 and the BCI Good Practice Guidelines (GPG 7.0). ADOX also conducts an independent ISO 22301 review and audit of an existing BCMS.
