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.

The requirements specified in BS 25999-2 are be generic and intended to be applicable to all organizations (or parts there of), regardless of type, size and nature of business. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the organization's operating environment and complexity.

Therefore the design and implementation of a BCMS to meet the requirements of this standard will be influenced by regulatory, customer and business requirements, the products and services, the processes employed and the size and structure of the organization. It will not be the intent of this British Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of a BCMS but for an organization to design a BCMS to be appropriate to its needs and that meets its stakeholder’s requirements.

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.

The standard and various other documents can be purchased from BSI using the links below
