BCI Good Practice Guidelines

Introduction

Written and compiled by BCI members, with these guidelines we aim to provide a generic framework for successful Business Continuity Management by providing an approach, which a BC practitioner can use to inform his/her own business programme.

The guidelines aim to be applicable to all organisations, regardless of size or industry sector, and are intended for use by business continuity management practitioners, risk managers auditors and regulators.

The BCI Good Practice Guidelines are designed to provide assistance in understanding through the application of six Business Continuity Management stages.

With these six principles, the process and terminology of Business Continuity Management is explained plus recommendations for good practice are provided.

GPG review

The BCI has decided to undertake a major review and extension of the Good Practice Guidelines during the course of 2009 with a view to re-launching them as GPG 2010. Although the basic principles and concepts will not change, the BCI feel that a more comprehensive publication is now needed to reflect both the needs of our international membership and also the emergence of important new BCM standards around the world.
