This document specifies the structure and requirements for implementing and maintaining a business continuity management system (BCMS) that develops business continuity appropriate to the amount and type of impact that the organization may or may not accept following a disruption.The outcomes of maintaining a BCMS are shaped by the organization’s legal, regulatory, organizational and industry requirements, products and services provided, processes employed, size and structure of the organization, and the requirements of its interested parties.A BCMS emphasizes the importance of:
- — understanding the organization’s needs and the necessity for establishing business continuity policies and objectives;
- — operating and maintaining processes, capabilities and response structures for ensuring the organization will survive disruptions;
- — monitoring and reviewing the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS;
- — continual improvement based on qualitative and quantitative measures.
A BCMS, like any other management system, includes the following components:
- a) a policy;
- b) competent people with defined responsibilities;
- c) management processes relating to:
- 1) policy;
- 2) planning;
- 3) implementation and operation;
- 4) performance assessment;
- 5) management review;
- 6) continual improvement;
- d) documented information supporting operational control and enabling performance evaluation.
0.2 Benefits of a business continuity management systemThe purpose of a BCMS is to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities for managing an organization’s overall ability to continue to operate during disruptions. In achieving this, the organization is:

- 3) protecting and enhancing its reputation and credibility;
- 4) contributing to organizational resilience;

- 1) protecting life, property and the environment;
- 2) considering the expectations of interested parties;
- 3) providing confidence in the organization’s ability to succeed;
- d) from an internal processes perspective:
- 1) improving its capability to remain effective during disruptions;
- 2) demonstrating proactive control of risks effectively and efficiently;
