BS 25999 became a formal business continuity standard in November 2007. Since then, a very large number of organizations from all around the world in both the public and private sector began evaluating the standard, as well as the value associated with the certification process.
Recently, Brian Zawada, CEO of Avalution Consulting, joined me for a web presentation introducing BS 25999, outlining why it's different from other standards and regulatory requirements, and addressing what an organization needs to do in order to be compliant with its requirements. The presentation also offered some recent observations on how BS 25999 compliance can improve business continuity program performance - even if the organization never pursues certification.
Joining Mr. Zawada was Michael Godin, Senior Systems Engineer with Ecora Software. Michael shared how an automated configuration audit and compliance reporting solution like Ecora Auditor Pro can automate important enterprise configuration audit reporting that will not only aid in your BS 25999 certification process, but will also ensure those standards continue to be sustained.
