BS25999 Part 2 Launched
Its here, the long awaited specification is now available.
BS25999 Part 2 has now been launched. Officially titled BS 25999-2:2007 ‘Specification for business continuity management’ it joins and complements Part 1, or BS 25999-1:2006 Business continuity management. Code of practice.
BS 25999-2 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, exercising, maintaining and improving a documented Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) within the context of managing an organization’s overall business risks.
The requirements specified in BS 25999-2 are be generic and intended to be applicable to all organisations, regardless of type, size and nature of business. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the organisation's operating environment and complexity.
BS 25999-2 can be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies, to assess an organization’s ability to meet its own business continuity needs, as well as any customer, legal or regulatory needs.
Over the next few weeks we will be updating our Part 2 content to reflect the published standard rather than the draft version and a number of articles on the certification process. The site supplier directory now lists a couple of certification bodies.
