An ISO 22301-compliant business continuity management system is suitable for any organization of any size and industry, public or private. And especially for those organizations (utilities, financial, telecommunications, transportation, etc.) that work in a high-risk environment, where being able to continue working is of vital importance for businesses, customers, and stakeholders.

Integration with other systems

The Business Continuity Management certification according to UNE-EN ISO 22301 is perfectly compatible and integrable with other management systems as it shares with these standards the tools of the continuous improvement cycle management systems (PDCA).

The Business Continuity Management model is aligned with others such as Information Security (UNE-ISO/IEC 27001), IT Service Management (UNE-ISO/IEC 20000-1) or Quality Management (UNE-EN ISO 9001) in order to facilitate the necessary consistency and allow synergy in the implementation and operation of each aspect of management. Specifically, the UNE-ISO/IEC 27001 Standard considers business continuity as a key element within information security management.
