Business Continuity management systems

A Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) safeguards an organisation’s ability to continue operating during and after disruptive events. It spans people, operations, infrastructure and external partners, ensuring they can continue to deliver when unexpected events occur.

A BCMS provides a structured way to identify critical activities, understand dependencies, assess continuity risks, and implement measures that keep essential services running, even under pressure.

Disruptions are now a routine part of doing business. Whether caused by technology failures, supply chain pressures, environmental events, or internal challenges, the impact can be significant if the organisation isn’t prepared. By embedding continuity practices into the way work is done, a BCMS strengthens resilience and helps teams act quickly and effectively when the pressure is on.

FutureProof Frameworks support organisations in building robust and adaptable business continuity capabilities and can help companies wishing to formalise their resilience approach with ISO 22301 certification.
