ISO 22301

The international standard for business continuity management systems

ISO 22301 is the auditable standard for business continuity: proving you can keep operating through disruption. Companies adopt it because NIS2 demands continuity planning, or because a large customer requires proven resilience from critical suppliers.

Who it applies to

Organizations that need to prove continuity capability: NIS2-covered entities, critical suppliers to large enterprises, and companies in sectors where downtime is contractually expensive.

What OptiTech provides

  • A structured BCMS: business impact analysis, continuity strategies, and recovery plans as a managed system rather than a document
  • Templates following MSB methodology: continuity plans in the format Swedish authorities and auditors expect
  • Exercise scheduling: continuity plans that are never tested fail audits. OptiTech schedules exercises and captures the results as evidence.
  • Incident integration: your continuity plans connect to the same incident flows you use for MSB reporting

What non-compliance costs

ISO 22301 is voluntary, but the continuity requirements in NIS2 are not. An untested continuity plan is a common audit finding, and an unmanaged disruption costs far more than the program.

Cross-mapping

ISO 22301 overlaps heavily with the continuity requirements in NIS2 and complements ISO 27001. Evidence from exercises counts in all three.
