Understanding Business Continuity on a Systemic level – what is ISO 22301?

 ISO 22301 is a worldwide recognized standard used to help organizations understand risks and manage business continuity within their operations. Thousands of companies around the world have implemented and became independently certified to the standard, adding to its recognition as the de facto framework adopted by business continuity experts.
The standard defines business continuity management as part of an overall risk management approach to be taken by an organization. Implementing and certifying to the standard can be useful to show your company’s compliance to your clients or other stakeholders. ISO 22301 can leverage your business to acquire new customers by positioning your organization as a dependable supplier which will provide services and products with little risk to disruption.

• Understanding the ISO 22301 standard and its clauses
