ISO 22301 Documentation Pack (BCMS)
A thorough and comprehensive documentation package created to help clients, consultants, and service providers successfully achieve compliance with ISO 22301:2019.
Complete clause coverage — and an index that proves it
Every one of the 57 numbered requirements of ISO 22301:2019, from clause 4.1 to clause 10.2, is delivered by a named document in this pack. That includes the three clauses most toolkits quietly omit:
- Clause 8.6 — Evaluation of business continuity documentation and capabilities, with its own procedure and a 33-point evaluation checklist.
- Clause 6.3 — Planning changes to the BCMS, with a change procedure and a change log carrying a column per mandatory consideration.
- Clause 6.1 — Risks and opportunities. Most packs ship a risk register and stop there; this one includes an opportunity register alongside it.
The Toolkit Index maps the pack both ways: every document to the subclauses it addresses, and every subclause to the documents that cover it. Take it to your Stage 1 audit — it is the fastest way to show an assessor that no requirement is unowned.
Built to be used, not just owned
- Guidance in every document. A deletable panel at the front of all 58 Word documents states its purpose, the clauses it satisfies, how to complete it, its review frequency — and how that particular document typically fails at audit.
- Seven worked examples. A completed business impact analysis, a completed risk assessment, and two completed business continuity procedures (loss of building, and ransomware), all for the same fictional organisation so the figures reconcile across them.
- Process flowcharts for the five core processes — BIA, risk assessment, incident response, internal audit and corrective action — each step tagged to its clause, plus an editable flowchart pack.
- Fill it in once. Set your organisation name in the document properties, press Ctrl-A then F9, and it populates throughout.
- Unique document IDs on a consistent scheme, with a documentation log generated from the pack itself so the register can never drift from what you actually hold.
