Understand the scope

What the framework covers.

The library records this framework for all sectors, critical infrastructure, financial services, healthcare, across global. The issuing authority determines applicability; your assessment scope should identify the organization, systems, services, and edition being assessed.

Areas of requirement

  • Business continuity policy
  • Business impact analysis
  • Continuity strategies and procedures
  • Exercise and evaluation
  • Continual improvement

The library tracks the authority and edition. A normalized requirement catalog is not available for this framework, so a requirement count is not stated here.

Source access and licensing

Licensed standard — purchase from ISO or a national member body and obtain software-use rights before verbatim ingestion.

Prepare with context

The evidence behind
the requirements.

Evidence needs to demonstrate how a requirement is met within the assessment scope. Keep the source requirement, collection context, responsible owner, review decision, and period of applicability together.

A framework-specific collection workflow has not been activated. The reference material on this page can inform scoping and preparation; it does not establish evidence collection or assessment readiness.

ControlFrame availability

Framework reference available

Authority and version facts, with a parsed public catalog when available; no tenant blueprint or executable evidence method is activated.

How availability is determined

ISO 22301 is tracked in the registry — authority, version ledger, verification — and nothing else is modelled for it yet. Import its catalog to begin.

Catalog status: Planned. Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented.

Metadata only; licensed BCMS requirements are not ingested, normalized, or released as a product module.

Follow the source

Editions and transitions.

These are the editions recorded in the library, checked August 28, 2026. Confirm the applicable edition with the authority before beginning an assessment.

Announced transition

ISO has opened development of the third edition as ISO/CD 22301. The 2019 edition with Amendment 1:2024 remains the published standard.

Common questions

A closer look.

What is ISO 22301?

The certifiable business continuity management system standard for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disruption. Tracking it does not claim that ControlFrame or any customer holds ISO 22301 certification.

Who does ISO 22301 apply to?

ISO 22301 applies to all sectors, critical infrastructure, financial services, healthcare, global, per ISO 22301:2019.

What is the current version of ISO 22301?

The current edition is 2019 (Amd 1:2024), issued by ISO 22301:2019 and published 2024-02-23. Source: https://www.iso.org/standard/75106.html.

What does an assessment under ISO 22301 require?

No control catalog has been ingested for ISO 22301 yet — the registry tracks it as planned (Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented), so an assessment under this framework currently requires the authority's own catalog rather than a ControlFrame-parsed one.
