Briefly describe the ISO standard, ISO 22301:2011, and note the main difference in focus between this standard and ISO 27031:2011.

What will be an ideal response?


ISO 22301:2011 is the ISO standard that specifies what must be done to implement a BC management system (BCMS) that can be certified as complying with the requirements of the standard. It is meant to apply to organizations of all sizes and types, including government agencies and private enterprises. The standard emphasizes meeting business needs, having capacity and resilience to manage events that may occur, how the BCMS can be measured as to performance and effectiveness, and how to ensure ongoing improvement to the BCMS.

Whereas the 27031 standard focuses on the IT aspects of BCM, the 22301 standard focuses more on organizational aspects.
