IT Governance Blog on IT governance, risk management, compliance and information security.

Business Continuity Management has an important role to play in the long-term success of an organisation. It allows an organisation to understand, and plan, how it would react in a given scenario, and increase its chances of surviving a distruption that could, in the absence of a business continuity management system, cripple its operation and even stop it from trading all together!

Until the end of July, we are giving away an additional two resources with the BS25999 BCMS Implementation Toolkit!

BS25999 BCMS Implementation Toolkit Special Offer Free – Coping with Unplanned Absences, which looks at what you can do to ensure your employees fulfil their obligations and turn up as required. It gets to grips with the question of how your organisation should handle unplanned absences before and when they arise; And Free – IT Outsourcing Contracts: A Legal and Practical Guide, which identifies some of the benefits and the pitfalls that an organisation may encounter when outsourcing its IT.
