ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System – Training Courses
What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301, the international standard for business continuity management systems (BCMSs), is a comprehensive framework designed to enable organizations to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from unexpected incidents. By implementing a BCMS, organizations can detect and mitigate threats, as well as ensure uninterrupted operations. ISO 22301’s inclusive requirements are suitable for organizations of all types, sizes, and complexities, allowing them to adapt the standard to their unique operating environments. ISO 22301 is particularly advantageous for organizations seeking to ensure compliance with their business continuity policies, maintain service delivery during disruptions, and strengthen overall resilience through effective BCMS implementation.
ISO 22301 serves both as a protective measure and an evaluative tool. It helps organizations assess their capability to meet specific business continuity needs and obligations, thus ensuring long-term operational stability.
