Agenda

• Why was BS25777 developed; what need does it fulfil?

• How does it relate to BS25999?

• Who is its target audience?

• What are the key messages?

Page 3: BS25777: IT Continuity

In the beginning there was…

• BS25999 part 1, which set out the code of

practice for business continuity

• … and it was good

• … but voices in the wilderness wailed,

“What about IT?”, and that begat PAS77…

• …and that begat BS25777:2008…

• A code of practice for ICT Continuity

associated with, and building upon,

BS25999 part 1

• For anyone seeking ICT Continuity

wisdom, not just BS25999 readers

…and Lo! BS25777 was similar to

BS25999

Here endeth the lesson(which I hope has come across as gentle evangelism

rather than „fire and brimstone‟ preaching)
