Synopsis

A Manager's Guide to BS25999 is a concise and practical guide to the benchmark for business continuity management. Business continuity is something of a mystery to a great many people involved in running organisations today. Yet the world is changing. There is an apparent growth in the number of threats to the ability of organisations to continue with their business activities. This is coupled with increasingly sophisticated approaches to corporate governance, risk management and corporate and social responsibility. This guide will help you to understand and meet the growing need to demonstrate and provide assurance that, should some interruptive incident occur, you have done everything reasonable to minimise disruption to the continued supply of the products or services of your organisation. A Manager's Guide to BS25999 is essential reading for managers, executives and directors with any interest or involvement in operational risk or business continuity management and, in an increasingly competitive world, the avoidance of letting down customers, a situation which carries increasingly higher penalties, as business can often be lost for good.
