ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), designed to help organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents.
"ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) gave us more than certification. It built real operational discipline, clearer ownership, and security practices we can trust as we grow."

ISO 22301 helps organizations build a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) to ensure critical operations can continue during disruptions such as disasters, cyber incidents, or system failures.
Core evidence includes Business Impact Analysis (BIA), risk assessment, Business Continuity Plan (BCP), Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), incident response procedures, and exercise/test reports.
Yes, both standards align closely—ISO 27001 focuses on information security, while ISO 22301 ensures availability and continuity, making them complementary.
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) defines how quickly systems must be restored, RPO (Recovery Point Objective) defines acceptable data loss, and MTPD (Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption) defines the maximum downtime the business can tolerate.
