How does ISO 22301 work?
The focus of ISO 22301 is to ensure continuity of business delivery of products and services after occurrence of disruptive events. This is done by finding out business continuity priorities what potential disruptive events can affect business operations defining what needs to be done to prevent such events from happening, and then defining how to recover minimal and normal operations in the shortest time possible. Therefore, the main philosophy of ISO 22301 is based on analyzing impacts and managing risks: find out which activities are more important and which risks can affect them, and then systematically treat those risks.
How does business continuity fit into overall management?
Business continuity is part of overall risk management in a company, with areas that overlap with information security management and IT management.
