It is an international standard that specifies the requirements for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). This standard is designed to help organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents that could disrupt their critical operations.

The main objectives include:

1. Risk Identification: Assess potential threats that could compromise operations.

2. Continuity Planning: Develop business continuity plans to ensure the resumption of critical activities.

3. Crisis Management: Establish procedures to effectively respond to incidents.

4. Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and improve the BCMS to address new threats and opportunities.

ISO 22301:2019 is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size or sector, and helps protect stakeholders’ interests, the company’s reputation, and key economic activities.
