BS 25999

Assessing, planning and testing your contingency or emergency plans reduces the impact of any potential disruption to working practices. And, should the worst happen, a good business continuity management system (BCMS) certified to BS 25999 part 2 will aid effective and prompt recovery, so helping protect market share, reputation and brand.

How can the PRiSM route to BS25999 benefit my organisation?

Only LRQA provide PRiSM, the Progressive Route into Systems Management. Using the PRiSM route to achieve certification to BS 25999 allows you to build additional certified management systems on to an existing system, at your own pace, using your available resource.

Achieved by implementing the extra system in a series of six Steps leading to full certification, each one is formally recognised by LRQA enabling you to demonstrate your commitment to your stakeholders, even before full certification.

Step 1 costs nothing and takes less than an hour during an existing routine surveillance visit. Following this your LRQA assessor will work with you on a different part of BS 25999 each time, where possible as part of an extended surveillance visit for an existing standard.

At each visit, subject to a successful PRiSM assessment, we issue an updated Statement of Commitment towards BS 25999. After successfully completing Step 6, we issue full BS 25999-2 certification.
