ISO 22301

ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organizations to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure recovery from disruptive incidents.

This standard is essential for organizations to improve resilience against various unforeseen disruptions, ensuring continuity of operations and services. It helps in detecting risks, preparing for emergencies, and improving recovery time. It can be integrated with other ISO management standards, providing a comprehensive approach to organizational resilience.

BENEFITS OF ISO 22301:

• Enhanced Resilience
• Minimized Downtime

• Increased Customer Confidence
• Protection of Brand Reputation
• Financial Savings
• Competitive Advantage
• Employee Safety and Morale

Disruption Preparedness

ISO 22301 emphasizes creating a business continuity plan (BCP) that outlines procedures for recovering from disruptions, aligning perfectly with DORA’s mandate for robust incident response plans. The new European DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) regulation will come into force on 17 January 2025.

The new Digital Operational Resilience Regulation (DORA) for the financial sector was adopted by the European legislator at the end of 2022. It will come into force in January 2025, requiring European financial players to take a series of measures to guarantee the continuity of their services and, more broadly, their resilience in the digital world.
