1) Concept

Business continuity refers to an organization's ability to maintain and restore its business during and after a disaster. The disasters here may include extremely severe weather, fires, floods, natural disasters, thefts, IT malfunctions, employee illnesses or terrorist attacks.

ISO22301 stipulates the requirements for planning, establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and continuously improving a documented business continuity management system, in order to implement protection, reduce the possibility of interruption events, and prepare, respond and recover when interruption events occur.

With the help of the ISO22301 business Continuity management system framework, organizations can ensure that key businesses that determine the success or failure of the enterprise remain in continuous operation as much as possible. With the ISO22301 system, your organization will gain stronger adaptability no matter what business it is engaged in.

The ISO22301 Business Continuity management system holds long-term significance for organizations. It provides a crucial guarantee for the sustainable development of the organization, making its business operations more unshakable and shaping a stable and trustworthy brand image.
