Every organisation, large and small, must have a business continuity plan. Large organisation plans will tend to be more complex than those of small ones. Smaller organisations can follow the advice available from BCI, London First and the UK’s National Counter Terrorism Security Office or get immediate continuity cover in place by using a Best Practice Business Continuity Kit.

Business continuity planning (BCP) involves the processes and procedures for the development, testing and maintenance of a (series of) plan(s) that will enable an organisation to continue operating during and after a disaster. Plans are typically designed to cope with incidents affecting all the organisation’s business-critical processes and activities, from failure of a single server, or server room, all the way through to complete loss of a major facility.

The Best Practice Business Continuity Kit contains essentials materials and tools for organisations who are implementing Business Continuity Planning (BCP) or Business Continuity Management (BCM) within their organisation.

Best Practice Business Continuity Kit The book, best practice standard (BS25999:1-2006) and CD-ROM in the Best Practice Business Continuity Kit aid with the construction of an effective business continuity plan (templates included) and with the efficient implementation of a BCM system within an organisation.

Overview of the kit contents:

BS 25999:1-2006 Code of Practice for Business Continuity Management (Hard Copy)
