With a pedigree going back over ten years, The Definitive
Handbook of Business Continuity Management can rightly claim to be
a classic guide to business risk management and contingency
planning, with a style that makes it accessible to all business
managers. Some of the original underlying principles remain the
same - but much has changed. This is reflected in this radically
updated third edition, with exciting and helpful new content from
new and innovative contributors and new case studies bringing the
book right up to the minute. This book combines over 500 years of
experience from leading Business Continuity experts of many
countries.
It is presented in an easy-to-follow format, explaining in detail
the core BC activities incorporated in BS 25999, Business
Continuity Guidelines, BS 25777 IT Disaster Recovery and other
standards and in the body of knowledge common to the key business
continuity institutes. Contributors from America, Asia Pacific,
Europe, China, India and the Middle East provide a truly global
perspective, bringing their own insights and approaches to the
subject, sharing best practice from the four corners of the
world.
We explore and summarize the latest legislation, guidelines and
standards impacting BC planning and management and explain their
impact. The structured format, with many revealing case studies,
examples and checklists, provides a clear roadmap, simplifying and
de-mystifying business continuity processes for those new to its
disciplines and providing a benchmark of current best practice for
those more experienced practitioners. This book makes a massive
contribution to the knowledge base of BC and risk management. It is
essential reading for all business continuity, risk managers and
auditors: none should be without it
