ISO 17799: "A Business Continuity Management process should be implemented to reduce the disruption caused by disasters and security failures to an acceptable level through a combination of preventative and recovery controls"

The core document to support this is of course the Business Continuity Plan (or Disaster Recovery Plan). The importance of maintaining a sound plan cannot really be over emphasized... yet many enterprises still side step the issue or hold plans which are clearly out of date or inadequate.

Part of the reason for this is the complexity of the task. This is not helped by some vendors selling planning products which are themselves extremely difficult to master.

There is now, however, a growing trend to address this head on: to use a quality template with forms and guide to create the plan directly. Minimum fuss, minimum complexity, maximum productivity... and a top quality plan at the end.

The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) Generator is an outstanding example. It is extremely comprehensive, and comes equipped with a guidebook (MS-Word) which explains each section of the plan... and even interactively jumps to that section when required by clever use of Word Macros.

Full details of the BCP Generator can be obtained from the following site:
