Everything you want to know about Business Continuity guides you through a range of standards relating to business continuity management (BCM) and disaster recovery, with particular reference to ISO 22301. It shows you how to develop a modern response to the operational risk landscape and how to prepare your organisation for interruptions to your key activities, minimising the impact on your bottom line, reputation and credibility.
Aside from having a recovery plan in place, there are other advantages to developing an effective BCM strategy. When things go wrong, senior managers are expected to be able to account for the decisions that they took, or didn’t take, when times were better. Business continuity plans and arrangements developed on best-practice lines are far more likely to protect directors in the face of any post-incident enquiry. Any company can say that it has a business continuity plan, but those that can demonstrate resilience based on best-practice principles will surely have the edge over those that cannot.
Tony Drewitt has specialised in operational risk management and business continuity management since 2001, working with small, medium and large organisations to help them develop their BCM policies, strategies and plans. Tony was one of the first practitioners to achieve certification under BS 25999 (and is currently working with several organisations to develop management systems in line with ISO 22301). He has written several books on business continuity, including ISO 22301: A Pocket Guide and A Manager’s Guide to ISO22301, all published by ITGP.
