ISO/TS 22330:2018 for IT Directors
What does ISO/TS 22330:2018 require of a IT Director?
ISO's guidance on the people side of business continuity: who is owed a duty of care and what they need, the competencies and awareness to build beforehand, how to protect, account for and support people in the response, how to mobilise and look after them through recovery, restoration and travel incidents, how to support families and well-being, how to communicate internally, externally and on social media, and how to exercise, record and review it all. Under ISO/TS 22330:2018, which defines 34 controls, a IT Director's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which ISO/TS 22330:2018 controls land on the IT Director
IT Directors translate compliance requirements into technical implementations. They manage infrastructure, oversee technology projects, ensure systems meet security standards, and bridge the gap between business requirements and technical delivery.
ISO/TS 22330:2018 defines 34 controls across 6 domains that directly affect the IT Director role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
