What is ISO 22301:2019?

ISO 22301:2019 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a structured framework that helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents such as cyberattacks, natural disasters, pandemics, or supply chain failures.

The standard enables organizations to identify critical operations, assess risks, and implement preventive and recovery strategies that ensure continuity of services and minimize downtime. It emphasizes resilience, proactive planning, and continuous improvement.

ISO 22301 is suitable for organizations of all sizes and sectors, especially those providing time-sensitive products or services or operating in high-risk environments.

Achieving ISO 22301 certification demonstrates your organization’s commitment to operational resilience, risk management, and maintaining stakeholder confidence — even in times of crisis.
