ISO 22313:2020, Security and resilience - Business continuity management systems – Guidance to the use of ISO 22301, is an international standard developed by technical committee ISO/TC 292 Security and resilience. This document provides guidance for applying the requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS) in accordance with the requirements set out in ISO 22301:2019.^[1]

The aim of ISO 22313 is to explain and clarify the meaning and purpose of the requirements stated in ISO 22301. While this standard does not restate the requirements included in ISO 22301, its structure mirrors that of ISO 22301.^[2]

The second edition of ISO 22313 published in 2020, cancels and replaces the first edition, ISO 22313:2012, which has been withdrawn.^[2]

ISO 22313 has adopted the new format for writing management system standards described in Annex SL and it includes the following ten main clauses:^[3]

1. Scope
2. Normative references
3. Terms and definitions
4. Context
5. Leadership
6. Planning
7. Support
8. Operation
9. Performance evaluation
