An effective BCMS allows organizations to detect and mitigate potential threats, ensuring that critical operations continue with minimal interruption.
ISO 22301 is designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it suitable for organizations of any type, size, or complexity. It is particularly valuable for organizations seeking to maintain service delivery during disruptions and enhance overall operational resilience.
