> Summary: ISO 22301 with OptiTech: continuity planning templates following MSB methodology, exercise scheduling, and controls that overlap heavily with NIS2's continuity requirements.

# 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](https://neon.com/docs/frameworks/nis2) and complements [ISO 27001](https://neon.com/docs/frameworks/iso-27001). Evidence from exercises counts in all three.
