What This Framework Does Not Prove

  • ISO 22301 certifies the continuity management system, not that disruptions won't occur. It proves the organisation has planned and tested its response, not that the response will be perfect.

Evidence Requirements

BIA, risk assessment, BCP documents, incident response plans, exercise records, lessons learned, management review.
