ISO 22301:2019 8.4.4: Business continuity plans

Document and keep up business continuity plans that lead teams through response and recovery. Taken together, the plans set out: the actions for keeping prioritized activities going, or restoring them, within time frames fixed in advance; how the disruption and the response will be monitored; the thresholds set beforehand, and the process, for triggering the response; procedures for delivering products and services at the capacity agreed; and how the immediate effects are handled with regard to people's welfare, avoiding further loss, and the environment. Each plan must state its purpose, scope and objectives; the roles and duties of the team that carries it out; the actions that put the solutions into effect; the supporting information needed to trigger, run, coordinate and communicate the response, including the triggering criteria, internal and external interdependencies, what resources are needed, what must be reported, and how the response is stood down; and it must be usable and to hand when and where it is needed.

Other controls in Operation, ISO 22301:2019

You are reading one control. How much of ISO 22301:2019 have you already done?

ISO 22301:2019 8.4.4 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 22301:2019 your existing evidence covers. Hold APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management and 28 of 57 ISO 22301:2019 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management pair alone.
