Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 292, Security and resilience.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22301:2012), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared with the previous edition are as follows:
— ISO’s requirements for management system standards, which have evolved since 2012, have been
applied;
— requirements have been clarified, with no new requirements added;
— discipline-specific business continuity requirements are now almost entirely within Clause 8;
— Clause 8 has been re-structured to provide a clearer understanding of the key requirements;
— a number of discipline-specific business continuity terms have been modified to improve clarity
and to reflect current thinking.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
0.1  General
This document specifies the structure and requirements for implementing and maintaining a business
continuity management system (BCMS) that develops business continuity appropriate to the amount
and type of impact that the organization may or may not accept following a disruption.
The outcomes of maintaining a BCMS are shaped by the organization’s legal, regulatory, organizational
and industry requirements, products and services provided, processes employed, size and structure of
the organization, and the requirements of its interested parties.
A BCMS emphasizes the importance of:
— understanding the organization’s needs and the necessity for establishing business continuity
policies and objectives;
— operating and maintaining processes, capabilities and response structures for ensuring the
organization will survive disruptions;
— monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS;
— continual improvement based on qualitative and quantitative measures.
A BCMS, like any other management system, includes the following components:
a) a policy;
b) competent people with defined responsibilities;
c) management processes relating to:
1) policy;
2) planning;
3) implementation and operation;
4) performance assessment;
5) management review;
6) continual improvement;
d) documented information supporting operational control and enabling performance evaluation.
0.2 Benefits of a business continuity management system
The purpose of a BCMS is to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities for managing
an organization’s overall ability to continue to operate during disruptions. In achieving this, the
organization is:
a) from a business perspective:
1) supporting its strategic objectives;
2) creating a competitive advantage;
3) protecting and enhancing its reputation and credibility;
vi © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 22301:2020
ISO 22301:2019(E)

4) contributing to organizational resilience;
b) from a financial perspective:
1) reducing legal and financial exposure;
2) reducing direct and indirect costs of disruptions;
c) from the perspective of interested parties:
1) protecting life, property and the environment;
2) considering the expectations of interested parties;
3) providing confidence in the organization’s ability to succeed;
d) from an internal processes perspective:
1) improving its capability to remain effective during disruptions;
2) demonstrating proactive control of risks effectively and efficiently;
3) addressing operational vulnerabilities.
0.3  Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle
This document applies the Plan (establish), Do (implement and operate), Check (monitor and review)
and Act (maintain and improve) (PDCA) cycle to implement, maintain and continually improve the
effectiveness of an organization’s BCMS.
This ensures a degree of consistency with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001,
ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 28000, thereby supporting consistent and
integrated implementation and operation with related management systems.
In accordance with the PDCA cycle, Clauses 4 to 10 cover the following components.
— Clause 4 introduces the requirements necessary to establish the context of the BCMS applicable to
the organization, as well as needs, requirements and scope.
— Clause 5 summarizes the requirements specific to top management’s role in the BCMS, and how
leadership articulates its expectations to the organization via a policy statement.
— Clause 6 describes the requirements for establishing strategic objectives and guiding principles for
the BCMS as a whole.
— Clause 7 supports BCMS operations related to establishing competence and communication on a
recurring/as-needed basis with interested parties, while documenting, controlling, maintaining
and retaining required documented information.
— Clause 8 defines business continuity needs, determines how to address them and develops
procedures to manage the organization during a disruption.
— Clause 9 summarizes the requirements necessary to measure business continuity performance,
BCMS conformity with this document, and to conduct management review.
— Clause 10 identifies and acts on BCMS nonconformity and continual improvement through
corrective action.
0.5  Contents of this document
This document conforms to ISO’s requirements for management system standards. These requirements
include a high level structure, identical core text and common terms with core definitions, designed to
benefit users implementing multiple ISO management system standards.

Introduction
0.1 General
This document specifies the structure and requirements for implementing and maintaining an effective
business continuity management system (BCMS).
An organization should develop business continuity that is appropriate to the magnitude and type of
impact that it may or may not accept following a disruption. The outcomes of maintaining a BCMS are
shaped by the organization’s legal, regulatory, organizational and industry requirements, products and
services provided, processes employed, size and structure of the organization, and the requirements of
its interested parties.
A BCMS emphasizes the importance of:
understanding the organization's needs and the necessity for establishing business continuity policies
and objectives;
operating and maintaining processes, capabilities and response structures for ensuring the organization
will survive disruptions;
monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS;
continual improvement based on qualitative and quantitative measures.
A BCMS, like any other management system, includes the following components:
a) a policy;
b) competent people with defined responsibilities;
c) management processes relating to:
policy;
planning;
implementation and operation;
performance assessment;
management review;
continual improvement;
d) documented information supporting operational control and enabling performance evaluation.
0.2 Benefits of a BCMS
The BCMS is to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities for managing an organization’s
overall ability to continue to operate during disruptions. In achieving this, the organization is:
a) from a business perspective:
— supporting its strategic objectives;
— creating a competitive advantage;
— protecting and enhancing its reputation and credibility;
— contributing to organizational resilience;
b) from a financial perspective:

— making business partners confident in its success;
— reducing legal and financial exposure;
— reducing direct and indirect costs of disruptions;
c) from the perspective of interested parties:
— protecting life, property and environment;
— considering the expectations of interested parties;
d) from an internal processes perspective:
— improving its capability to remain effective during disruptions;
— demonstrating proactive control of risks effectively and efficiently;
— addressing operational vulnerabilities.
0.3 The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model
This document applies the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) model to planning, establishing, implementing,
operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and continually improving the effectiveness of an
organization's BCMS.
This ensures a degree of consistency with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001
Quality management systems, ISO 14001, Environmental management systems, ISO/IEC 27001, Information
security management systems, ISO/IEC 20000-1, Information technology – Service management, and
ISO 28000, Specification for security management systems for the supply chain, thereby supporting
consistent and integrated implementation and operation with related management systems.
0.4 Components of PDCA in this document
In the PDCA model, Clause 4 through Clause 10 in this document cover the following components.
Clause 4 is a component of Plan. It introduces requirements necessary to establish the context of the
BCMS as it applies to the organization, as well as needs, requirements, and scope.
Clause 5 is a component of Plan. It summarizes the requirements specific to top management's role in
the BCMS, and how leadership articulates its expectations to the organization via a policy statement.
Clause 6 is a component of Plan. It describes requirements as it relates to establishing strategic
objectives and guiding principles for the BCMS as a whole.
Clause 7 is a component of Plan. It supports BCMS operations as they relate to establishing competence
and communication on a recurring/as-needed basis with interested parties, while documenting,
controlling, maintaining and retaining required documented information.
Clause 8 is a component of Do. It defines business continuity needs, determines how to address them
and develops the procedures to manage the organization during a disruption.
Clause 9 is a component of Check. It summarizes requirements necessary to measure business
continuity performance, BCMS compliance with this document and management review.
Clause 10 is a component of Act. It identifies and acts on BCMS non-conformance and continual
improvement through corrective action.
0.5 Contents of this document
This document conforms to ISO’s requirements for management system standards. These requirements
include a high-level structure, identical core text, and common terms with core definitions, designed to
benefit users implementing multiple ISO management system standards.

elements can be aligned or integrated with those of other management systems.
This document contains requirements that can be used by an organization to implement a BCMS and to
assess conformity. An organization that wishes to demonstrate conformity to this document can do so by:
making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
seeking confirmation of its conformity by parties having an interest in the organization, such as
customers, or
seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
seeking certification/registration of its BCMS by an external organization.
Clauses 1 to 3 in this document set out the scope, normative references and terms and definitions which
apply to the use of this document, while Clauses 4 to 10 contain the requirements to be used to assess
conformity to this document.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
a) ‘shall’ indicates a requirement;
b) ‘should’ indicates a recommendation;
c) ‘may’ indicates a permission;
d) ‘can’ indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked as “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated
requirement. “Notes to entry” used in Clause 3 provide additional information that supplements the
terminological data and can contain provisions relating to the use of a term.
