What Is ISO 22301?
The purpose of ISO 22301 is to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities that enable your organisation to operate during disruptions. By implementing a robust BCMS, businesses with ISO 22301 can demonstrate a commitment to protecting life, property and the environment, providing confidence in your organisation’s ability to deliver.
ISO 22301 evaluates the processes, policies and operating procedures required to keep your business trading, with an organisation-wide approach that encompasses procedures, HR, management and systems. With operations actively monitored and measured, the BCMS helps a business identify threats to its operations and respond effectively.
