What is ISO 22316?

ISO 22316 provides an ordered methodology for improving organizational resilience—the capacity to predict, plan, react, and adjust to sudden and gradual transformations.

It does not set out a prescriptive standard such as ISO 9001 instead it provides a framework of which you adopt about your company, its size, complexity and aspects that are unique to your enterprise. ISO 22316 is an adaptable tool for resilience-oriented governance as it supplements the standards that establish other components of governance, such as ISO 22301 (Business Continuity) and ISO 31000 (Risk Management).
