Plan for the unexpected with BS 25999, the world’s first British standard for Business Continuity Management. Put in place a robust Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) to deal with the most challenging circumstances and succeed under threat.
Any organisation in any sector can be impacted by extreme weather conditions, terrorism, IT system failure, staff sickness and many more unplanned incidents, bringing business to a standstill. Work with us to safeguard your employees and reputation, minimise disruption and maximise recovery time with BS 25999.
The standard is published in two parts: the BS 25999-1: Code of Practice provides a best practice guide; the BS 25999-2 Specification outlines BCMS requirements in line with the Code. Compliance will set you up with a practical plan to lessen the adverse effects of most eventualities. We can guide you through a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify critical areas of your operation – giving stakeholders confidence that you are proactively protecting your business.
Our range of courses covers every aspect of business continuity and is delivered on site or through a public programme and our tutors cater for everyone from new starters to experienced auditors.
“We chose BSI for its international reputation for excellence. It is a trusted organisation with unrivalled experience.”
