What is Business Continuity Management?
Business continuity management involves managing the recovery or continuation of business activities in the event of a business disruption, and management of the overall programme through training, exercises and reviews, to ensure the incident management, business continuity, and business recovery plans stays current and up-to-date. Business Continuity Management is defined by the British Standards Institute as a:
"Holistic management process that identifies potential threats to an organization and the impacts to business operations that those threats, if realized, might cause, and which provides a framework for building organizational resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities" - BS25999: 2006
Business continuity management (BCM) is a business-owned, business-driven process that establishes a fit-for-purpose strategic and
operational framework that:
proactively improves an organizations resilience against the disruption of its ability to achieve its key objectives;
provides a rehearsed method of restoring an organizations ability to supply its key products and services to an agreed level within an agreed time after a disruption
delivers a proven capability to manage a business disruption and protect the organizations reputation and brand.
While the individual processes of business continuity can change with an organizations size, structures and responsibilities, the basic principles remain exactly the same for voluntary, private or public sector organizations, regardless of their size, scope or complexity.
