ISO 22316:2017 — Security and resilience — Organizational resilience — Principles and attributes

In preparation. This kit is being written now and is not yet available to download. Tell us you want it and we will send it to you the day it is released — and hold the current price for you.

Download the free sample (PDF) — the complete document master list for this kit and its clause-by-clause cross-reference matrix, so you can see exactly which document answers each requirement of ISO 22316:2017 before you buy.

Every document you need to implement Organizational Resilience Framework to ISO 22316:2017 and evidence it, written by our lead auditors and supplied as editable Microsoft Word files in an organised folder tree. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own details and the system is yours — no blank pages, no guessing what an auditor expects.

How it is written

Each procedure states the steps, the responsible roles, the frequencies and the records produced, so it can be followed on the day you buy it. Every requirement of the standard is mapped to a document in the clause cross-reference matrix — so you can show an assessor where each requirement is met. Auditor notes flag what assessors look for and the nonconformities that come up most often.

Internal auditor training included

This edition adds a complete internal-auditor (IQA) training pack: a participant handbook covering the standard clause by clause from an auditor's viewpoint, a trainer's guide with a two-day agenda, a slide outline, exercises with model answers, a 30-question examination with its marking scheme, and the course records.

Please note

ISO 22316:2017 cannot be certified. It contains no requirements — the operative verb across Clauses 4, 5 and 6 is "should", and the standard's single "shall" sits in the Foreword's patent boilerplate — so there is no documented information obligation, no internal audit, management review or corrective action clause, and nothing a certification body could raise a finding against; no accreditation body operates a scheme for it, which makes any commercially sold "ISO 22316 certificate" unaccredited by definition. Conformity is instead demonstrated the way Clause 6 itself sets out: resilience objectives and measurement criteria set by top management, acceptance thresholds, a baseline gap assessment against the nine attributes at 5.2 to 5.10, monitoring built on management information, internal audit reports and business reviews the organisation already holds, periodic top-management review against the trigger list at 6.3.2, and summary reporting with trends and action plans. That evidence supports a scored self-assessment, a second-party review by a customer, insurer or regulator, or an advisor-led maturity assessment issued as an advisory report carrying a rating and an improvement roadmap — never a certificate. Personnel certificates in ISO 22316 knowledge certify an individual, not the organisation. Where a certificate is genuinely required, the standard organisations certify to is ISO 22301:2019, Business continuity management systems — Requirements, read with Amd 1:2024, audited by a body accredited to ISO/IEC 17021-1 under an IAF MLA signatory on the usual Stage 1, Stage 2, surveillance and recertification cycle, with ISO 22313:2020 as its guidance; ISO 22336:2024 supplies the resilience policy and strategy layer ISO 22316 omits.
