Business Continuity Management Plan Template
A business continuity management plan for setting out how your organisation would respond to and recover from a disruptive incident. It covers the response and recovery team, internal and external communications, and the arrangements for loss of premises, infrastructure and business-critical functions, with a key-contacts directory.
ISO 22301 expects organisations to establish documented continuity plans and procedures that can be activated during a disruption. This template gives you a complete, editable plan to adapt to your own business and keep current.
Built for ISO 22301 Continuity Plans and Procedures
The plan sets out what a continuity plan needs to be usable in an incident:
- The continuity response and recovery team, responsibilities and communications
- Recovery arrangements for loss of premises, infrastructure and associated services
- Recovery arrangements for loss of business-critical functions, with recovery time objectives
- A key-contacts directory covering the team, suppliers, customers, utilities, emergency services and insurers
What's Included in this Business Continuity Management Plan
The plan is set out in sections so it can be completed and activated in one document:
- 1. Overview - the purpose and scope of the plan and the identification of critical functions
- 2. Responsibilities and communication - the response and recovery team and internal and external communications
- 3. Continuity and recovery arrangements - arrangements for loss of premises and services, loss of infrastructure, loss of critical functions and emergency incident management, each with recovery time objectives and responsibilities
- 4. Key contacts - the response team, key suppliers, customers, utilities, emergency services, insurers and local authorities
- Appendices - location information and an inventory of backup equipment and systems
- Version 2 is a shorter and more concise plan
Who Needs a Business Continuity Management Plan?
Any organisation that wants a practical, ready-to-use plan for keeping going through disruption - a fire, flood, IT failure or supplier loss. It suits smaller businesses building continuity without a dedicated resilience team, and anyone maintaining a business continuity management system aligned with ISO 22301.
Included in the ISO 22301 Business Continuity Toolkit
This form is part of the ISO 22301 Business Continuity Toolkit - the plans, registers, forms and guidance for running a business continuity management system in one download - and is included in every alphaZ ISO toolkit that covers business continuity.
Pairs with the Disaster Recovery Plan
Continuity keeps you running during disruption; recovery restores you afterwards, so it pairs with the F-Q95 Disaster Recovery Plan, which sets out how premises, infrastructure and critical functions are restored after an incident.
