ISO 22301 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 22301 outlines a systematic approach for organizations to identify potential threats to their business operations, assess the impact of disruptions, and implement measures to ensure continuity during and after unforeseen events. The standard provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a business continuity management system, helping organizations enhance their resilience and ability to respond effectively to disruptions, such as natural disasters, technological failures, or other incidents that could jeopardize business continuity.

In essence, ISO 22301 assists organizations in proactively managing and mitigating risks to ensure the continued delivery of critical products and services. By adhering to this standard, businesses can strengthen their capacity to navigate through disruptions, minimize downtime, and safeguard their reputation and stakeholder confidence in the face of unforeseen challenges.
