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.
ISO 22301 Requirements and Structure
ISO 22301:2019 Transition
ISO 22301 has recently undergone a revision which resulted from the ever-changing nature of customer needs, the environment, and the market. The requirements of the standard have therefore been modified in order to meet the current and future business continuity challenges.
The “PECB ISO 22301:2019 Transition” training course provides detailed information about the revised clauses, added and removed terminology, reduced prescriptiveness of the standard, etc., and helps you gain a thorough understanding of the difference between ISO 22301:2012 and ISO 22301:2019. During this training course, you will be able to acquire the necessary knowledge to support an organization in planning and implementing the ISO 22301:2019 changes, thus participating in the transitioning process from an ISO 22301:2012 BCMS to an ISO 22301:2019 BCMS in a timely manner.
After becoming acquainted with the new concepts and requirements of ISO 22301:2019, you can sit for the exam and, if you successfully pass the exam, you can apply for a “PECB Certified ISO 22301:2019 Transition” credential. A PECB Transition Certificate will prove that you have the practical knowledge and professional capabilities to successfully apply the ISO 22301:2019 changes to an existing business continuity management system (BCMS) in any organization.
