BS25999

British Standard
for continuity management
(PAS56)

The British Standards Institute originally published a guide which established the process, principles and terminology of Business Continuity Management. Specifically, PAS 56 described the activities and ‘outcomes’ of establishing a BCM process, and provided a series of recommendations for good practice. It provided a generic management framework for incident anticipation and response, as well as describing evaluation techniques and criteria. The sponsors were the BCI and Insight Consulting, although a number of other organisations were consulted during the development, including Sainsbury, EDS, The Post Office and the OGC.

 

This has been superseded by BS25999 which was published in November 2007.
