BCI and DRII revise the ten key disciplines

The Business Continuity Institute has published revisions to the ten key disciplines, which give guidance to the areas of competence that business continuity professionals require. The update is the result of joint BCI / DRII (Disaster Recovery Institute International) consultations.

BCI made the following statement about the changes:

“We are pleased to announce that following co-operative work between the BCI and DRII a revised set of Certification Standards are today published on the BCI website. These standards reflect the change of approach to business continuity management as encapsulated in the BCI definition in the Good Practice Guide to BCM published last December.

Business continuity management is defined as an holistic management process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an organisation and provides a framework for building resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation and value creating activities."

The new version of the ten key disciplines can be read at http://www.thebci.org/10%20Standards%20Intro.htm
