ISO 22301
Being prepared when things really go wrong
ISO 22301 focuses on one crucial question:
can the organization continue to function during a serious disruption?
Consider:
- IT failures
- Cyber incidents
- Staff shortages
- Supplier issues
- Crisis situations
ISO 22301 makes continuity manageable — before it is needed.
Why ISO 22301 is becoming increasingly important
Continuity has long ceased to be just an IT issue. Supervisors, customers, and supply chain partners expect organizations to:
- know what is critical
- be prepared for disruptions
- recover responsibly
- learn lessons from incidents
ISO 22301 provides a structured framework for this.
What ISO 22301 requires
The standard revolves around insight and preparation:
- which processes are crucial?
- what is the maximum acceptable downtime?
- what dependencies exist?
- who decides when things go wrong?
Important components:
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
- Risk analysis and scenarios
- Recovery strategies
- Crisis organization and decision-making
- Testing, practicing, and improving
ISO 22301 within organizational control
Where ISO 9001 focuses on quality, ISO 22301 focuses on resilience.
Within organizational control, ISO 22301 ensures:
- insight into critical processes
- manageable crisis response
- coherence between IT, operations, and management
- demonstrable resilience
It prevents continuity from being “somewhere in IT.”

Who is ISO 22301 suitable for?
ISO 22301 is suitable for organizations that:
- are socially or operationally crucial
- are dependent on IT and supply chain partners
- deal with supervision or requirements from tenders
- want to seriously safeguard continuity
