Recover before it hurts
Agreed recovery objectives and tested plans bring critical services back before the impact becomes unacceptable.
A continuity plan that has never been exercised is a hope, not a plan.
Dr. Sanjay Vaid, Invocore
Disruption is a question of when, not if
Cyber attacks, outages, supplier failures and natural events can stop critical services without warning. ISO 22301 gives a structured way to understand what matters most, decide how quickly it must recover, and prove that your plans work.
The challenge
Why this matters now
Most organisations have some form of backup or disaster recovery, but far fewer know which business activities must recover first, how long they can be down, and what they depend on. When disruption comes, decisions are made under pressure with incomplete information.
ISO 22301 replaces guesswork with a tested system. It starts from the business impact of disruption, sets recovery objectives leadership agrees to, and builds plans that are exercised and improved, so the organisation can respond with confidence.
Rising disruption
Cyber attacks, outages and supply chain shocks are more frequent and more connected.
Customer and regulator expectations
Clients and regulators increasingly ask for evidence of operational resilience.
Digital dependence
More services depend on a small number of systems and suppliers.

Frequently asked questions
How is ISO 22301 different from disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery focuses on IT systems. ISO 22301 covers the whole business: people, sites, suppliers and technology.
Can it be combined with ISO 27001?
Yes. Both share the same management-system structure and ISO 27001 includes continuity-related controls.
Do you run exercises?
Yes. We design and facilitate tabletop and live exercises and capture lessons learned.
