What is ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management?
ISO 22301 is a globally recognised standard for Business Continuity Management Systems, also known as BCMs. Adopting the ISO framework for BCMs offers organisations numerous advantages, including enhancing their resilience against disruption and reassuring stakeholders and clients of their commitment to business continuity.
What is included in ISO 22301?
Business Continuity Policy
A Business Continuity Policy (BCP) is an official statement from the organisation outlining its stance and dedication to ensuring operational procedures remain in place during unforeseen events.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Like a risk assessment, the BIA allows organisations to recognise and prioritise potential disruptions and plan for effective and proportionate responses to minimise impact on BAU functions.
Strategies & Solutions
Practical measures and strategies must be devised and integrated into action plans to address identified risks, ensuring the continuity of critical business functions.
Implementation & Operation
To fully comply with the framework, concrete steps must be taken to integrate the BCM and BCP into normal business operations. This can include but is not limited to resource allocation, staff training, and further contingency plans.
BCM Monitoring
Business continuity must be monitored regularly to ensure a swift response to any risks that threaten business continuity. Without a well-organised and equipped monitoring strategy, BCM response may be too late to rectify discrepancies before damage is done.
Management Review
No system is perfect; every plan, including your BCP, can be refined and improved. As threats are consistently evolving and the working world changes daily, it’s important to regularly schedule management reviews so that the BCP and BCM can be improved and reorganised to meet new threats and shore up discovered weaknesses.
In short, the ISO22301 provides a framework that gives organisations the tools to respond to and swiftly mitigate disruptions. In our 21st-century society, business can be volatile; as such, the ability to ensure continuity is a valuable asset that many managers, stakeholders, clients, and employees will value.
FAQ
How long does it take to get certified?
To become certified, businesses and organisations must be audited by an accredited certification body. Whilst it varies greatly from company to company, largely depending on your unique circumstances, most companies and organisations can expect the certification process to take several months, depending on the magnitude of changes required to comply with the standard.
What is the ISO?
ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is an independent, non-governmental international organisation with a membership of 169 national standards bodies. One of the advantages of ISO accreditation is that many ISO standards easily integrate with other ISO accreditations, allowing organisations to display their strengths in an easy-to-comprehend manner.
