BS25999 is the formal standard for business continuity management. This invaluable pocket guide will help you to understand the language of business continuity. It contains definitions both of the key words in BS25999 and of the relevant terms found in the information security standard, ISO27001. Other definitions provided in the glossary have been taken from the earlier glossaries published by the Business Continuity Institute and the DRI (Institute for Continuity Management), from the IT service management standard, ISO20000, and from the IT Infrastructure Library (ITILv3). Created to facilitate the adoption of BS25999, the combined glossary sets out the most common business continuity terms and offers an authoritative explanation of what they mean. It will therefore enable business continuity to be discussed clearly and consistently throughout the English-speaking world.
