BS25999

BS25999 is the emerging standard for Business Continuity Management. It is scheduled to be published late in 2006 and early in 2007, in two parts.

It will have a major impact upon BCM as a whole, and will undoubtedly become a world wide force very quickly indeed.

The
BS25999 Forum

  • We are currently testing the draft version of our BS25999 dedicated Forum. Please feel free to contribute and comment when it is published.

External

  • As the business continuity world awakens to the implication of the new standard, sites, services and resources are already beginning to appear.

  • The first dedicated website appears to be 25999continuity.com, narrowly pipping us to pole position! Another early runner is BS 25999 BCM from W3J, although this strictly speaking is a subsite. The first PAS56 site was pas56.com, which now covers both BS25999 & PAS56.

  • When a sufficient number of web resources emerge, we will review them in some detail within a specific section.

  • General: Standardization

Who Is It For?

  • BSI state that it is for: anyone with the responsibility for business operations and the continuity of such operations from board directors and chief executives through all levels of the organization.
