ISO 22301:2019 was developed as the world’s first international standard for Business Continuity Management (BCM) to help organizations prepare and ensure their business can continue in the face of external threats such as a natural disaster or information security breaches. Ever-growing threats, such as attacks and catastrophic weather events can cause interruption in service delivery, the supply chain, displacement/harm of personnel, or damage to company inventory and property which will ultimately hurt your bottom line.
The adoption of a Business Continuity Management system prepares an organization to display resilience, assuring customers and stakeholders of a continuous operation, even if incidents occur. Receiving ISO 22301 certification demonstrates that an organization has a management plan developed with the right people in place, and determined readiness to respond to a business threatening incident. It is also a way to display to those who rely on your organization that your business continuity plan is up to international standard.
