BS 25999

BS 25999 is widely used as best practice for the implementation of Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS).

BS 25999 is the British Standard for Business Continuity Management.  By performing Business Continuity Planning (BCP) using BS 25999 as the model, organisations can be sure that they are adopting a tried and tested methodology built on best practice developed over a number of years.

Our expert professional Business Continuity Consultants can help you  implement a Business Continuity Management System tailored to your business needs using BS 25999 as best practice guidance.

BS 25999 is based upon the well-established Plan-Do-Check-Act management model modified for Business Continuity Management.  A typical implementation of a Business Continuity Management System would include:

  • Interviews with key business areas to identify key assets and to conduct a Business Impact Analysis.
  • The development and agreement of a Business Continuity Strategy defining how the organisation would respond to an incident, the resources that would be available, and the timescale and service objectives for recovering from an incident.
  • The development of Crisis Management, Communication and Incident Response Plans.
  • The development of Business Continuity Plans for key areas of the business.
  • The development of Disaster Recovery Plans for major assets such as IT, telecoms and buildings.
  • The development of a Management System and Manual for the ongoing management and improvement of Business Continuity Planning
  • Exercising and modification/improvement of Business Continuity Plans, Disaster Recovery Plans, Crisis Management Plan, Communication Plans and Incident Management Plans.

Whilst the above can seem to be a daunting list, it is important to tailor the approach to the size and culture of the organisation as well as the nature of the business.  Our expert consultants can help to develop a Business Continuity Management System meeting the needs of your organisation.  To arrange to speak with one of our consultants or obtain a quote e-mail info@activityim.com .
