ISO 22301 focuses on ensuring that organizations can continue operating during disruptions. In The Fact Board, this is supported by a structured set of facts that monitor the effectiveness of the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).
These facts include the identification of critical activities, defined maximum tolerable periods of disruption (MTPD), recovery time objectives (RTO), and the availability of business continuity plans. In addition, organizations track plan testing coverage, training coverage, exercise findings, and the closure of corrective actions.
By managing these facts centrally, organizations gain clear insight into their resilience and preparedness. This enables management to strengthen continuity capabilities and ensure that disruptions can be managed in a controlled and fact-based way.
