Societal security - Business continuity management systems - Requirements (ISO 22301:2012)

EN ISO 22301 for business continuity management specifies requirements to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise. The requirements specified in this International Standard are generic and intended to be applicable to all organizations, or parts thereof, regardless of type, size and nature of the organization. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the organization’s operating environment and complexity. It is not the intent of this International Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), but for an organization to design a BCMS that is appropriate to its needs and that meets its interested parties’ requirements. These needs are shaped by legal, regulatory, organizational and industry requirements, the products and services, the processes employed, the size and structure of the organization, and the requirements of its interested parties. This International Standard is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations that wish to a) establish, implement, maintain and improve a BCMS, b) ensure conformity with stated business continuity policy, c) demonstrate conformity to others, d) seek certification/registration of its BCMS by an accredited third party certification body, or e) make a self-determination and self-declaration of conformity with this International Standard. This International Standard can be used to assess an organization’s ability to meet its own continuity needs and obligations.

Sicherheit und Schutz des Gemeinwesens - Aufrechterhaltung der Betriebsfähigkeit - Anforderungen (ISO 22301:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm zur Aufrechterhaltung der Betriebsfähigkeit legt Anforderungen fest, um ein dokumentiertes Managementsystem zu planen, einzuführen, umzusetzen, zu betreiben, zu überwachen, zu überprüfen, aufrechtzuerhalten und ständig zu verbessern, um sich gegen Vorfälle mit Betriebsunterbrechung zu schützen, die Wahr¬scheinlichkeit ihres Auftretens zu vermindern, sich auf diese vorzubereiten, auf diese zu reagieren und sich von diesen zu erholen, wenn sie auftreten.
Die Anforderungen dieser Internationalen Norm sind generischer Art und dafür vorgesehen, für sämtliche Organisationen oder Teile dieser, unabhängig von ihrer Art, Größe oder Beschaffenheit zu gelten. Der Umfang der Anwendung dieser Anforderungen ist von der betrieblichen Umgebung und der Komplexität der jeweiligen Organisation abhängig.
Diese Internationale Norm beabsichtigt keine Einheitlichkeit im Aufbau eines Managementsystems zur Aufrecht¬erhaltung der Betriebsfähigkeit (BCMS), setzt jedoch bei einer Organisation voraus, dass diese ein BCMS gestaltet, das ihren Bedürfnissen gerecht wird und die Anforderungen ihrer Interessensgruppen erfüllt. Diese Bedürfnisse werden durch rechtliche, behördliche, organisationstechnische und industrielle Anfor-derungen geprägt sowie durch Produkte und Dienstleistungen, eingesetzte Prozesse, Größe und Aufbau der Organisation und die Anforderungen ihrer Interessensgruppen.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt für sämtliche Arten und Größen von Organisationen, die Folgendes wollen:
a)   Einführen, Implementieren, Aufrechterhalten und Verbessern eines BMCS;
b)   Sicherstellen der Konformität mit den erklärten Leitlinien zur Aufrecht¬erhaltung der Betriebs¬fähigkeit;
c)   Darstellen der Konformität gegenüber anderen;
d)   Zertifizierung/Registrierung ihres BMCS durch eine amtlich zugelassene Zertifizierungsstelle einer Drittpartei; oder
e)   Erstellung einer eigenen Konformitätsfeststellung oder einer eigenen Konformitätserklärung mithilfe dieser Internationalen Norm.

Sécurité sociétale - Systèmes de management de la continuité d'activité - Exigences (ISO 22301:2012)

L'ISO 22301:2012 spécifie les exigences pour planifier, établir, mettre en place et en ?uvre, contrôler, réviser, maintenir et améliorer de manière continue un système de management documenté afin de se protéger des incidents perturbateurs, réduire leur probabilité de survenance, s'y préparer, y répondre et de s'en rétablir lorsqu'ils surviennent.
Les exigences spécifiées dans l'ISO 22301:2012 sont génériques et prévues pour être applicables à toutes les organisations, ou parties de celles-ci, indépendamment du type, de la taille et de la nature de l'organisation. Le champ d'application de ces exigences dépend de l'environnement et de la complexité de fonctionnement de l'organisation.

Družbena varnost - Sistem vodenja neprekinjenosti poslovanja - Zahteve (ISO 22301:2012)

Standard EN ISO 22301 za vodenje neprekinjenosti poslovanja določa zahteve za načrtovanje, ustanavljanje, izvajanje, upravljanje, nadzorovanje, pregledovanje, vzdrževanje in nenehno izboljševanje dokumentiranega sistema vodenja za zaščito pred prekinitvami poslovanja, zmanjševanjem možnosti njihovega pojava, pripravo nanje, odziv nanje in obnovitev poslovanja, kadar pride do prekinitev. Zahteve, določene v tem mednarodnem standardu, so generične in so namenjene uporabi v vseh organizacijah ali njihovih delih, in sicer ne glede na vrsto, velikost in naravo organizacije. Obseg uporabe teh zahtev je odvisen od delovnega okolja in kompleksnosti organizacije. Namen tega mednarodnega standarda ni, da bi zahteval enotno strukturo sistema vodenja neprekinjenosti poslovanja (BCMS), ampak omogočiti, da organizacija oblikuje svoj sistem vodenja neprekinjenosti poslovanja, ki ustreza njenim potrebam in izpolnjuje zahteve njenih zainteresiranih strani. Te potrebe oblikujejo pravne, regulativne, organizacijske in industrijske zahteve, proizvodi ter storitve, uporabljeni procesi, velikost in struktura organizacije ter zahteve njenih zainteresiranih strani. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za vse vrste in velikosti organizacij, ki želijo a) vzpostaviti, izvajati, vzdrževati in izboljšati sistem vodenja neprekinjenosti poslovanja, b) zagotoviti skladnost z veljavnim pravilnikom o neprekinjenosti poslovanja, c) dokazati skladnost z drugimi; d) pridobiti potrdilo/registracijo za sistem vodenja neprekinjenosti poslovanja pri akreditiranem certifikacijskem organu tretje strani ter e) sprejeti lastno odločitev in izdati lastno izjavo o skladnosti s tem mednarodnim standardom. Ta mednarodni standard je mogoče uporabljati za oceno sposobnosti organizacije za izpolnjevanje svojih potreb in obveznosti glede neprekinjenosti poslovanja.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 22301 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 223, Societal security.
This corrected version of ISO 22301:2012 incorporates the following corrections:
— first list in 6.1 changed from a numbered to an unnumbered list;
— commas added at the end of list items in 7.5.3 and 8.3.2;
— bibliography items [19] and [20] separated, which were merged in the original;
— font size adjusted in several places.

ISO 22301:2012(E)
0 Introduction
0.1 General
This International Standard specifies requirements for setting up and managing an effective Business Continuity
Management System (BCMS).
A BCMS emphasizes the importance of
— understanding the organization’s needs and the necessity for establishing business continuity management
policy and objectives,
— implementing and operating controls and measures for managing an organization’s overall capability to
manage disruptive incidents,
— monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS, and
— continual improvement based on objective measurement.
A BCMS, like any other management system, has the following key components:
a) a policy;
b) people with defined responsibilities;
c) management processes relating to
1) policy,
2) planning,
3) implementation and operation,
4) performance assessment,
5) management review, and
6) improvement;
d) documentation providing auditable evidence; and
e) any business continuity management processes relevant to the organization.
Business continuity contributes to a more resilient society. The wider community and the impact of the
organization’s environment on the organization and therefore other organizations may need to be involved in
the recovery process.
0.2 The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model
This International Standard applies the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) model to planning, establishing,
implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and continually improving the effectiveness of an
organization’s BCMS.
This ensures a degree of consistency with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001 Quality
management systems, ISO 14001, Environmental management systems, ISO/IEC 27001, Information security
management systems, ISO/IEC 20000-1, Information technology — Service management, and ISO 28000,
Specification for security management systems for the supply chain, thereby supporting consistent and
integrated implementation and operation with related management systems.
Figure 1 illustrates how a BCMS takes as inputs interested parties, requirements for continuity management
and, through the necessary actions and processes, produces continuity outcomes (i.e. managed business
continuity) that meet those requirements.

0.3 Components of PDCA in this International Standard
In the Plan-Do-Check-Act model as shown in Table 1, Clause 4 through Clause 10 in this International Standard
cover the following components.
— Clause 4 is a component of Plan. It introduces requirements necessary to establish the context of the
BCMS as it applies to the organization, as well as needs, requirements, and scope.
— Clause 5 is a component of Plan. It summarizes the requirements specific to top management’s role in the
BCMS, and how leadership articulates its expectations to the organization via a policy statement.
— Clause 6 is a component of Plan. It describes requirements as it relates to establishing strategic objectives
and guiding principles for the BCMS as a whole. The content of Clause 6 differs from establishing risk
treatment opportunities stemming from risk assessment, as well as business impact analysis (BIA) derived
recovery objectives.

NOTE The business impact analysis and risk assessment process requirements are detailed in Clause 8.
— Clause 7 is a component of Plan. It supports BCMS operations as they relate to establishing competence
and communication on a recurring/as-needed basis with interested parties, while documenting, controlling,
maintaining and retaining required documentation.
— Clause 8 is a component of Do. It defines business continuity requirements, determines how to address
them and develops the procedures to manage a disruptive incident.
— Clause 9 is a component of Check. It summarizes requirements necessary to measure business continuity
management performance, BCMS compliance with this International Standard and management’s
expectations, and seeks feedback from management regarding expectations.
— Clause 10 is a component of Act. It identifies and acts on BCMS non-conformance through corrective action.
