A Business Continuity Management System allows an organization to prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents. Other benefits include

(a) Identifying areas of weakness in the business and the opportunity for improvement;

(b) The need for a documented systematic approach to Business Continuity has been increasingly recognised over the years particularly following high profile business disruptions (e.g. City of London bombings in the ‘90s, Buncefield Fuel Depot Explosion in 2005). The now standardised approach is described in ISO 22301, “Business Continuity Management Systems” and the Business Continuity Institute’s “Best Practice Guidelines”.
