Combination of ISMS and BCMS

Considering ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, which have a lot of requirements in common, it is perfectly possible to go for the simultaneous implementation of the ISMS and BCMA. In fact, this can bring many benefits, like decreased costs in implementation and internal audits, but first, you have to consider the organization's situation in terms of available resources, knowledge, and personnel.
