What is ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management?
ISO 22301 has been around since 2012 and is the certification representing business continuity management for companies of all sizes from all industry backgrounds. Business continuity planning is essential as it plans for the worst-case scenario and will keep your business operating in a way that will not impact your operations, security or financial stability. It facilitates ongoing business performance by ensuring your teams can work without interruptions when faced with difficult situations outside your control.
Does my company need to have ISO 22301 Business Continuity?
Alongside the other BSI ISO standards, your business is not required to have them, but it can significantly benefit it if they are in place. ISO 22301 has been designed to help companies operate with high levels of security and resilience embedded into operations to allow internal continuity when major and minor issues occur. ISO 22301 protection allows your business to operate safely on larger scales and within new markets. It is beneficial when considering hybrid working, as companies can access talent worldwide and continue to operate without worrying about security data breaches.
What are the benefits of having ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management?
There are many benefits of investing in ISO 22301, and these are:
- Reduced risk of financial losses due to disruption
- Improved business continuity and resilience
- Improved customer confidence in your business
- Streamlined processes across the entire business
- Enhanced reputation as a reliable partner for stakeholders and suppliers
