Business Continuity Management (BCM) describes the process of planning for disruptive incidents. Organisations do this by identifying potential threats and analysing their impact on day-to-day operations.

Effective BCM ensures that organisations can provide an acceptable service in the event of a disaster, helping them preserve their reputation and keep revenue coming in.

ISO 22301, is the recognized international standard for BCMS, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 22301 business continuity management is the first ISO standard to incorporate Annex L, which provides a common framework for all new management system specifications issued by ISO.

The ISO 22301 BCM standard, crucially helps organizations identify and prioritize threats. It allows them to implement their business continuity management system effectively so they are ready to respond to and recover from incidents with the least disruption to business.
