BS 25999
Assessing, planning and testing your contingency plans will reduce the impact of any potential disruption to working practices and service/product delivery. And should the worst happen, a good Business Continuity Management system will aid effective and prompt recovery afterwards, so helping protect market share, reputation and brand.
Developed by a team of industry experts, including LRQA, the BS 25999-2:2007 (Business Continuity Management) standard was issued in November 2007. It provides an assessable framework for building organisational resilience and follows on from BS 25999-1:2006 (Code of Practice) which was the fastest selling standard on the market.
How can BS 25999 benefit my organisation?
Using industry best practice guide as a foundation, the standard has been introduced specifically to enable you to understand, develop and implement a structured and formalised Business Continuity Management system which will help minimise risk and so the chance of disruption to your organisation.
An independent assessment from LRQA will enable you to demonstrate to stakeholders that your business continuity capability is appropriate to the size and complexity of your organisation. Implementing a BCM gives you specific benefits such as:
- increased resilience when faced with organisational threat
- improved competence to maintain critical business services through action plan rehearsal
- enhanced capability to handle disruption and protect brand reputation when integrated with business planning.
