BS 25999 was launched on Oct 30, 2007, the world’s first internationally-recognized standard for Business Continuity Management (BCM). BS25999 sets out the fundamentals of a Business Continuity Management System, and contains a comprehensive set of requirements covering the whole BCM lifecycle, based on BCM best practices.
Per BSI, the BS 25999 Standard on Business Continuity is forecasted to be the biggest selling standard since the launch of ISO 9001 (which pertains to a Quality Management System). To quote Mr. Flemming Norklit, Managing Director, BSI Management Systems: “At our launch events last month in London, New York and Tokyo we had record numbers of attendees and the level of demand for certification to BS 25999 is like nothing previously experienced in the world of standards…not only in the UK but all over the world.” In fact, two companies have already applied for and been certificated against the standard – these include SunGard Availability, which runs a network of Backup centres across the Globe. Also, there are already 2 global organisations that have applied for BS25999 certification for their Indian operations. On behalf of the BCM Institute, I invite you to participate in the BS25999 journey.
BCM Institute India has signed an MOU with BSI in India to be their preferred training partner and domain expert for BS25999. I strongly believe that this partnership represents the coming together of two highly competent organisations that together can do exactly what the slogan of BSI promises – raising standards worldwide!
