What is ISO 22301?

ISO 22301 is the international Business Continuity Standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization. It sets out the requirements for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) – a structured way of identifying threats to your organisation, understanding the impact of disruption, and building the plans that let you keep delivering products and services when something goes wrong.

A framework, not a fixed plan

ISO 22301 doesn't hand you a generic disaster recovery template – it gives you a proven structure for working out your own critical activities, recovery time objectives, and continuity strategies.

Applies to any organisation

From financial services and data centres to manufacturers, public bodies and professional services firms, any organisation that needs to keep operating through disruption can be certified.

Independently verified

An accredited auditor checks your BCMS against the Standard before certification is awarded.

ISO 22301:2019 at a glance

The current version of the Standard is ISO 22301:2019, a second edition that replaced the original 2012 version and aligned it to the Annex SL common framework shared by ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. It follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, combining a Business Impact Analysis and risk assessment with documented continuity strategies, plans and an exercising programme. An amendment published in 2024 added requirements to consider climate change as a factor in your risk assessment.

Certification is carried out by a IndiaAS-accredited certification body, and once achieved, your business can use the ISO 22301 mark on tenders, your website, and your marketing.

ISO 22301 Cost

Prices for ISO 22301 certification will vary based on the size and complexity of your organisation. There's no single fixed fee – a certification body will look at a handful of factors before quoting you.

  • Number of employees – more staff generally means a longer audit.
  • Scope of your BCMS – certifying one critical service is quicker to assess than your whole organisation.
  • Number of sites – multi-site businesses may need more than one audit day.
  • How much support you need – building your BCMS from scratch vs. formalising existing continuity plans.

ISO 22301 for Small Businesses

ISO 22301 isn't just for large enterprises or critical infrastructure operators. Small IT providers, consultancies and service businesses make up a large share of the certifications we issue – often because one key client or public sector contract makes it a condition of supply.

Scaled to your size

The Standard doesn't demand a full-time continuity department – a BCMS for a small business can be lean, practical, and still fully compliant.

Wins bigger contracts

Certification is often the deciding factor when smaller providers compete against larger suppliers for financial services, public sector and enterprise contracts.

Tidies up how you work

Smaller teams often rely on one or two people to know what to do if systems go down. A BCMS captures that knowledge so the business isn't exposed if someone leaves.

The requirements of ISO 22301

The Standard uses a structure of ten clauses called Annex SL. These can be grouped into four key areas:

Context and leadership
Understand your organisation's internal and external issues and stakeholder needs, define the scope of your BCMS, form a continuity team, and secure leadership commitment to a clear continuity policy and objectives.
Business impact analysis & risk assessment
Identify your critical activities and the impact of disruption over time through a Business Impact Analysis, then assess the threats and risks that could cause that disruption.
Continuity strategies & plans
Select and implement continuity strategies for your critical activities, document response plans and incident structures, and set up warning and communication procedures for when disruption strikes.
Performance and improvement
Exercise and test your plans, monitor and measure how the BCMS performs, investigate nonconformities, and use the evidence to drive continual improvement.

Common Questions

About ISO 22301

ISO 22301 certified means a business has been independently audited and confirmed to meet the requirements of the ISO 22301 business continuity Standard.

Costs vary depending on business size, scope and process complexity. Use our instant cost calculator above to get a personalised quote.

No. ISO 27001 is the Standard for information security management, while ISO 22301 is the Standard for business continuity management – keeping the wider business running through any kind of disruption, not just a cyber or data incident. Many certification bodies hold accreditation for both, which lets you run one combined audit programme if you hold, or are working towards, both certificates.

Certification can often be achieved in as little as 45 days, depending on business size and readiness.

No, ISO 22301 certification itself is not a legal requirement. Some sectors have their own resilience regulations, but certification is most often a commercial requirement when supplying financial services, public sector or enterprise customers.

An ISO 22301 certificate is valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits to confirm ongoing compliance.
