ISO 22301

Safeguarding your business against disruption and ensuring operational resilience

ISO 22301 – International Standard for BCMS

ISO 22301 is the internationally recognised standard for business continuity management. It provides organisations with a systematic framework to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to disruptive incidents, from natural disasters to cyber threats. Designed for businesses of any size or sector, ISO 22301 ensures continuity of critical operations, protects reputation, and supports regulatory compliance. By embedding resilience into your business strategy, the standard helps organisations recover quickly, maintain customer trust, and sustain long-term growth.

Implementing ISO 22301 demonstrates your commitment to resilience, risk mitigation, and uninterrupted service delivery. The standard establishes structured processes for identifying threats, analysing impacts, developing response plans, and continuously improving your business continuity practices. It ensures that your organisation is prepared not only to survive disruptions but to thrive in the face of uncertainty.

Why ISO 22301 Matters

ISO 22301 matters because business interruptions can have far-reaching financial, operational, and reputational consequences.

Organisations without formal continuity planning are more vulnerable to crises, while those with ISO 22301 certification demonstrate foresight, reliability, and resilience. The standard empowers leadership to embed continuity planning into core operations, ensuring that employees, customers, and partners are safeguarded during incidents.

In industries such as finance, healthcare, logistics, and critical infrastructure, certification is increasingly a key requirement for clients and tenders. By integrating business continuity into everyday strategy, ISO 22301 strengthens organisational agility, reduces downtime, and protects both people and reputation.
