ISO 22301What is ISO 22301?
Requirements for planning, establishing, implementing, and maintaining a business continuity management system (BCMS).
Who it applies to
Organisations that must show they can keep operating through disruption — commonly financial services, and any supplier whose customers depend on continuity of service.
How the standard is organised
Built around business impact analysis and risk assessment feeding continuity strategies, plans and exercises, within the standard clause 4 to 10 frame.
Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Readiness Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.
ISO 22301 on the Bitkosh platform
The 44 ISO 22301 controls sit in one workspace with gap assessment, evidence collection and your readiness score, and shared controls count towards the equivalent requirement in the other 47 ready frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
How the platform worksSample controls
Six controls from the platform's control library, chosen because they are the most specific to this framework.
- 4.2Understanding needs and expectations of interested parties
Work out who has a stake in your continuity posture -- customers, regulators, partners -- and what each of them actually expects from you.
Context - 4.3Determining the scope of the BCMS
Draw a clear line around what your continuity program actually covers, and what's deliberately out of scope.
Context - 6.2.1Objective measurement
Make each continuity objective something you can actually measure progress against, not a vague ambition.
Planning - 6.1Actions to address risks and opportunities
Identify what could derail the continuity program itself -- and any opportunities to strengthen it -- not just operational disruption risk.
Planning - 10.1Nonconformity and corrective action
When something in the continuity program falls short, fix the underlying cause, not just the symptom.
Improvement - 8.4Business continuity strategies and solutions
Choose a real recovery approach for each critical activity, matched to what that activity actually needs.
