Public Consultation begins for British Standard for BCM - BS25999

On the 3rd July the BSI is due to commence the public consultation on BS25999, the long awaited British Standard for Business Continuity. The Consultation will run for 60 days . The final standard will hopefully be published during November and we encourage all those interested to submit their thoughts and suggestions on the Standard.

All submissions received will be reviewed by the Committee and feedback given though a report downloadable from the BSI website. Work on Part 2 of the Standard commences shortly focusing on the assessment and accreditation of Plans and it is expected that this will be completed during 2007.

The Continuity Forum will be running a number of events in the coming months to help people prepare their organisations by reviewing the current level and importantly, the depth of planning using our exclusive Benchmarking system.

Once the Final Standard is published the Continuity Forum will also be running a series of national events geared to help organisations ensure their plans are able to meet the new National Standard. For more details on the BS25999 standard and to discuss its implications please do contact the Continuity Forum directly. END
