The knowledge of BCM and its methodology relates to Technical expertise.

According to ISO 19011:2018 (Guidelines for auditing management systems), auditors must possess discipline-specific knowledge and skills to effectively audit a specific management system. For an ISO 22301 Lead Auditor, knowledge of Business Continuity Management (BCM) principles, methodologies (such as Business Impact Analysis and risk assessment), and recovery strategies constitutes the core "technical expertise" required. This technical knowledge allows the auditor to evaluate whether the BCMS is adequate, suitable, and effective for the organization's specific context.

B. False: This is incorrect because BCM methodology is a specialized domain. Understanding its technical components (e.g., RTO, RPO, MTPD) is a fundamental technical competency required for ISO 22301 auditors.
