Standard for BC/DR Recovery Service Providers

The BCM Institute has published a paper by Goh Moh Heng and Lim Yew Ban which provides an overview of the Singapore Standard for BC/DR Service Providers.

The paper’s introduction reads as follows:

The awareness of BC/DR services has grown due to the threats from terrorism and geopolitical tension. There are increasing concerns over the resilience of companies' IT and telecom infrastructure worldwide. Enterprises are looking at alternative locations for recovery purposes in the event of disruptions. Possessing such attributes as being a secure and stable location, excellent infrastructure, skilled manpower and extensive vendor support, Singapore is well-positioned to be a regional business continuity and disaster recovery hub in Asia Pacific. The development of the world's first standard in Singapore for such service providers continue to focus Singapore as having a strong value chain of service providers supporting the BC/DR cluster. This paper examines the implications of establishing this standard.
