ISO 22301
The international standard for a business continuity management system (BCMS), specifying how to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions.
Put the term into practice: Business continuity
ISO 22301 defines the requirements for a BCMS. It centers on understanding the organisation, performing a Business Impact Analysis and risk assessment, setting recovery objectives, and building and exercising continuity plans.
Like other ISO management system standards it follows the Harmonized Structure and can be certified, which makes it straightforward to operate alongside ISO/IEC 27001.
