About Business Continuity Management
A holistic approach to business continuity management makes it possible to identify potential threats to the organisation and their impact on business operations. It helps your organisation understand critical processes in all business areas, i.e. production, IT, finance, supply chain, health and safety, security, etc. This provides a framework for building organisational resilience.
Working through the business continuity management process creates a clear understanding of how the entire organisation operates. Although the process is looking at potential points of failure it can also be an excellent opportunity to enhance service levels and improve processes within the organisation that benefit customer service.
Business continuity management has six stages:
1 - Plan the business continuity management system
2 - Understand the organisation
3 - Business continuity management strategy
4 - Business continuity management system response
5 - Exercise and review
6 - Monitoring, maintaining and improving the business continuity management system
By assessing and certifying your Business Continuity Management against BS 25999 standard you can make sure that you are following the world class processes for maintaining your business continuity.
