BS25999

Continued operations in the event of a major disaster or incident is a fundamental requirement for any organisation.  Although quality standards like ISO9001:2008 or ISO14001:2004 require  emergency preparedness as a requirement of the standard;  few organisations actually have sufficient disaster recovery plans in place to ensure that business continuity is assured in the event of a major flood, pandemic, or natural disaster.

Assessing, planning and auditing against your contingency plans will help reduce impacts of any potential disruption to working practices, should the worst happen, then your organisations  Management system will aid an effective and prompt recovery.

NDC Management System specialise in integrating BS 25999 Business Continuity Management Systems with existing ISO9001:2008, ISO14001:2004 and OHSAS18001:2007.

How can BS 25999 benefit my organisation?

Using industry best practice guide as a foundation, the standard has been introduced specifically to enable you to understand, develop and implement a structured and formalised Business Continuity Management system which will help minimise risk and so the chance of disruption to your organisation.

An independent assessment from a certification body such as BSI or LRQA will enable you to demonstrate to stakeholders that your business continuity capability is appropriate to the size and complexity of your organisation.  Integrating a good business continuity management system as a stand alone standard or as part of an integrated approach to existing ISO standards will benefit you in the following ways::

• increased resilience when faced with organisational threat
• improved competence to maintain critical business services through action plan rehearsal
• enhanced capability to handle disruption and protect brand reputation when integrated with business planning.
