 * BS 25999-1:2006 Code of Practice for BCM: provides a basis for understanding, developing and implementing business continuity within an organization; provides confidence in B2B and B2C relationships.


 * BS 25999-2:2006 A Specification for BCM: specifies the requirements for "establishing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented BCM system within the context of an organization’s overall business risks," and for the implementation of continuity controls customized to the needs of specific organization.
