ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides organizations with a framework for planning, establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and continually improving a documented management system to prevent, reduce, and ensure recovery from disruptive incidents. This standard is crucial for enhancing an organization's resilience to various unforeseen disruptions, ensuring the continuity of business and services. It helps in identifying risks, preparing for emergencies, and improving recovery time.
