ISO/IEC 27031:2011 Information technology – Security techniques - Guidelines for information and communication technology readiness for business continuity

ISO 27031 encompasses information and communication technology (ICT) preparedness for business continuity, and provides a framework of methods and processes (including performance criteria, design and implementation) for developing an organization's ICT Readiness for Business Continuity (IRBC) program.

It includes and extends the practices of information security incident handling and management and ICT readiness planning and services.
