ISO 22301, is the recognised international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), published by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). ISO 22301 business continuity management is the first ISO standard to incorporate Annex L, which provides a common framework for all new management system specifications issued by ISO.
In a world where cyberattacks, data breaches and natural disasters can interrupt business continuity and quickly damage reputation, organisations and businesses need to implement, maintain and keep refining their business continuity management system (BCMS). ISO 22301 certification of their continuity management ensures they are doing so.
The ISO 22301 business continuity management standard, crucially helps organisations identify and prioritise threats. It allows them to implement their business continuity management system effectively so they are ready to respond to and recover from incidents with the least disruption to business.
On 31 October 2019 the latest version of the ISO 22301 standard was published – ISO 22301:2019. This is a revised version of ISO 22301:2012. It aims to make the standard “more streamlined and practical”, according to the ISO. According to the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), companies will be able to transition from ISO 22301:2012 to ISO 22301:2019 up until 30 April 2023. The deadline was, as an exception, extended due to the Covid-19 situation. The 2019 version has been generally well received and transitions from old to new versions of the standard are seen as a not overly onerous value adding exercise.
