Business continuity policy

Policy template meeting ISO 22301 clause 5.2, ready to sign.

Six pages structured around clause 5.2: purpose, scope, commitments, objectives framework, roles and authorities, review. Passages to customise are flagged, and each section states the normative requirement it satisfies — useful during the documentation audit.

How to use it

  • Fill in the approved scope before any other section
  • Have it signed by top management, not by the continuity lead
  • Distribute and log acknowledgement
  • Revisit at the annual management review
