Business Continuity Management British Standard to be available for public review in July

The Draft for Public Comment (DPC) for the new British Standard BS 25999-1 ‘Guide of Practice for Business Continuity Management’ will be available in July 2006 according to the British Standards Institution.

The standard has been developed by a technical committee, chaired by the Business Continuity Institute’s vice-chair Chris Green, who states that the committee expects to release the draft standard for public comment on Monday July 3rd.

The public comment stage will last for 60 days. All comments must be made on an approved template, which the BSI will make available.

After the consultation is closed the committee will log and review all comments. Depending on the time it takes to work through the comments, the BSI committee hopes to publish BS 25999-1 Part 1 in November 2006.

Work on Part 2, which describes the control framework, will start in July 2006 and the committee expects to publish this in early 2007.
