Key Focus Areas of ISO 27031:

1. ICT Readiness for Business Continuity: It provides a methodology to ensure that technology systems (servers, networks, cloud services, endpoints) can continue operating or be rapidly restored after a disruption.
2. The "BCM-ICT" Alignment: It bridges the gap between business continuity managers (who care about revenue and reputation) and IT teams (who care about uptime and patches).
3. Incident Response vs. Continuity: The standard distinguishes between short-term incident handling (e.g., containing a malware outbreak) and long-term continuity (e.g., running critical apps from a backup data center for two weeks).
4. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) & Key Goal Indicators (KGIs): Unlike generic continuity plans, ISO 27031 introduces specific metrics for ICT recovery, such as RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) from a technical perspective.

University Libraries: Many academic institutions provide students and faculty with access to ISO databases via IEEE Xplore or similar portals. iso 27031 standard pdf free
