Further background information

The BCI published its first Good Practice Guidelines in 2002. The document achieved a wide circulation and was translated into several languages. It also played a significant part in the development of the British Standards Institution's (BSI) Publicly Available Specification for Business Continuity Management (PAS56) .

The 2005 Good Practice Guidelines were extensively rewritten to take into account the current and possible future structure of PAS56 and the eventual move towards a full British Standard. The GPG 2005 also recognised the growing importance of BCM across all sectors, public and private.

Following the launch of the British Standard for Business Continuity Management, BS25999, in November 2006, the Good Practice Guidelines 2005 have been revised to ensure they are in line with this new Standard.

This document has been developed by members of the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) for the benefit of BCM professionals around the world. We wish to thank them, and their employers, for allowing them the time to contribute to this guide.

BCI Benchmark – powered by INONI

Self evaluation and best practice in BCM standards

In order to take the usefulness of the GPG to another level, the Business Continuity Institute has joined forces with INONI Ltd to develop BCI Benchmark, a powerful self assessment tool which will enable companies to benchmark and measure their business continuity plans and processes against the latest version of the GPG 2007.

BCI Benchmark will also allow benchmarking and self-evaluation against the principles contained in other international business continuity standards. This provides an excellent opportunity to use BCI Benchmark as a teaching aid enabling the user to learn how to improve BCM within their organization.
