Safeguard your organisation’s future with business continuity management
Business continuity – planning for, protecting against and ensuring recovery from disruptive events – is more important than ever.
In an increasingly volatile world – exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic – organisations are looking at business continuity from a fresh perspective. The illusion of business as a rampart against which the waves of the world break harmlessly is shattered; it is no longer possible to pretend that an organisation can weather all storms equally, or that the limited contingencies organisations develop are sufficient to protect them.
As a result, more and more organisations are looking to ISO 22301 – the international standard that defines the requirements for a BCMS – to safeguard their future.
ISO 22301 requirements and business continuity best practice
ISO 22301:2019 and business continuity management – Understand how to plan, implement and enhance a business continuity management system (BCMS) walks you through the requirements of ISO 22301:2019, explaining what they mean and how your organisation can achieve compliance. Whether you are seeking certification against the Standard or are simply looking to benefit from business continuity concepts and practices without developing a formal system, this book contains all you need to know.
It is an essential companion guide for those working in business continuity who are looking to introduce or optimise a BCMS aligned with ISO 22301.
