BCS supports the BS 25999 and ISO/PAS 22399:2007 standards, which establishes requirements for business continuity management. BCS can help implement a business continuity management system which offers dynamic information updates and quick recovery of continuity plans and procedures.
The BCS framework takes stock of the organizational structure of assets and business components to easily identify the organization’s most critical entities and relates the assets to critical business processes, making the continuity scope and strategy definition easier for various plans within the BCP methodology. All continuity plans are developed with BCS support, facilitating selection of the best continuity strategy.
How BCS helps with business continuity management:
- Inventories the target infrastructure and selects the best contingency option.
- Manages the plans that are part of the continuity strategy
- Updates the continuity plans dynamically as changes are made to the infrastructure
- Plan and conducts tests and simulation execution to ensure sustainability and continueity
- Automates the Continuity Management System
