ISO 22301 is the certifiable standard for a business continuity management system, and its work runs in a fixed order: understand the context and fix a scope, run a business impact analysis that sets how long each activity can be down, choose solutions that meet those times, write the plans, prove them in exercises, then audit and review the whole. No regulation names the standard, but DORA, NIS2 and APRA's CPS 230 all ask for the outcomes it produces, which is why financial entities and digital service providers build their continuity evidence on it. This hub starts with the requirements clause by clause, goes deep on the business impact analysis, and ends with where DORA adds to a BCMS.
3 pages on ISO 22301, in the order the work happens. Jump to the stage you are at, or read straight through.
Know what clauses 4 to 10 ask for, what a certification auditor samples in each, and how the certificate is won and kept.
Set impact criteria, derive an MTPD and RTO that survive sampling, and check every dependency and data set against them.
See which DORA continuity duties a BCMS already answers, and what Articles 11 and 12 and the RTS add on top.
These sit under another subject but bear directly on ISO 22301.
The free compliance check runs the ISO 22301 gap assessment in about five minutes and gives you a scored report you can take to a board meeting.
