What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 is the internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).
It provides organizations with a structured framework to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents while maintaining the continuity of critical products, services, and activities.
ISO 22301 helps organizations understand their operating environment, identify risks, perform Business Impact Analysis (BIA), determine recovery priorities, establish continuity strategies, develop plans, test arrangements, and continually improve organizational resilience.
ISO 22301
- International standard for Business Continuity Management Systems
- Structured approach to organizational resilience
- Focus on continuity, response, recovery, and continual improvement
- Applicable across industries and organization sizes
ISO 22301 helps organizations stay resilient when disruption occurs.
Organizations can face disruptions from cybersecurity incidents, technology failures, natural disasters, supply-chain issues, critical vendor outages, workforce disruptions, infrastructure failures, and other operational events.
- Manage ISO 22301 requirements and BCM activities
- Identify and manage business continuity risks
- Perform Business Impact Analysis
- Identify critical processes and services
- Define recovery priorities and requirements
- Develop business continuity and recovery plans
- Manage crisis response activities
- Plan and manage continuity exercises
- Track findings, corrective actions, and improvements
Instead of managing continuity plans, risk registers, BIA spreadsheets, documents, test results, evidence, and corrective actions separately, Sahl brings the entire business continuity lifecycle together in one centralized BCM and GRC platform.
