Business continuity management has evolved from focusing on disaster recovery to a holistic approach. BS25999 formed the basis for the new ISO22301 standard published in 2012. Organizations can be certified to ISO22301 to demonstrate they have an appropriate continuity management system and reduce insurance costs. There is a transition period ending in 2014 for certification bodies and their clients to transition from BS25999 to the new ISO22301 standard.

? Source documents included
o BS25999-2
o NFPA 1600
o ASIS OR standard
o Singapore standards
o ISO27031

? ISO moving towards standardization of management systems headings and text
o In development as it was being written
o Agreed now and published as ISO Guide 83
o Rules on how to apply this were not always clear so had to be changed
? Hence our interpretation may differ in detail from others like ISO 27001 ¨C all management systems
standards will follow Guide 83¡¯s standardized headings and text
? Integration of management systems will be easier

o It is aligned to 22301, clearly BS25999-1 was not
? ISO 22313 should be published early next year
o Currently at DIS
