ISO 22301:2019 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organizations to identify potential threats, assess risks, and build resilience to ensure continuity of operations during unexpected disruptions such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, equipment failures, pandemics, or supply chain breakdowns.
The standard helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents that may interrupt business operations, thereby reducing downtime and financial losses.
ISO 22301:2019 is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors – including manufacturing, IT services, healthcare, banking, education, government, and critical infrastructure.
Any organization that relies on uninterrupted services and stakeholder trust can benefit from implementing this standard.
👉 In short, ISO 22301:2019 helps organizations be prepared for the unexpected, maintain business continuity, and recover swiftly from disruptions—ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience.
