| BS 25999 |
BS25999 is a standard that establishes the process, principles and terminology of business continuity management.
The standard was prepared by BSI Technical Committee BCM/1 whose membership included representatives from the financial services industry, government, academia, the emergency services, business organisations and a number of specialist practitioners from around the world. It has been designed to be applicable to all sizes and types of organisations as the broad principles and practices described can be adapted to suite each individual organisation, considerable flexibility exists in implementation of the standard Although many industry sectors have a mature business continuity capability, many do not, particularly small to medium business. Having a non prescriptive, moderately easy to understand and consistent set of principles will enable business continuity to mature in a greater number of businesses. BSI have delivered a standard for the needs of the British market but it is just as applicable in New York or Munich as it is in London. Of course, complying with the standard does not infer any immunity from problems, this must be understood clearly by any organisations looking to use it but lays down a common framework that will ultimately enable measurement, benchmarking and certification. Measurement, benchmarking and certification will provide market assurance that the organisation is well prepared to meet a range of events that may threaten its sustainability and existence.
