Secure your business operations
What is a business continuity anagement system?
A business continuity management system (BCMS) is a business strategy that helps an organization deal with business interruptionsThese interruptions can range from natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes to cyberattacks or other technological failures. Thus, business continuity management is the emergency plan for a company's systems. In practical terms, it refers to how a company anticipates, recognises and deals with business interruptions to minimise the impact on business functions and operations. The BCMS informs employees how to act in the event of a disaster and includes plans for restoring business operations as quickly as possible.
The requirements and standards that should be set for a BCMS are defined by the ISO 22301 standard. This can serve as an orientation to cover the most important aspects of the design, implementation and operation of a business continuity management system. If the BCMS has been implemented in compliance with ISO 22301, it is also possible to have the system certified.

Three steps to your Business Continuity Management System
- Analysis of the initial situation
Basically, a BCMS project starts with an analysis of the current situation. The next step is to analyse the criticality of the business processes and risks. This is followed by the definition of the strategy, the derivation of BC plans and the creation of test plans. The last step is the introduction and first operation in connection with a test and, if necessary, a specification of the defined measures.
