BS 25999 framework for Business Continuity Planning
BS25999 is a standard that establishes the process, principles and terminology of business continuity management. The standard deals with broad goals and is therefore non prescriptive so as to make it applicable to small and large business and local or global organisations.
The standard aims to achieve the following:
Provides a basis for understanding business continuity management
Provides a means of measurement that is consistent and recognised
Provides a system based on established good practice
It does not deal in general with emergency planning and management except in the context of an organisations role within a larger civil emergency
It has been designed to be applicable to all sizes and types of organisations as the broad principles and practices described can be adapted to suite each individual organisation, considerable flexibility exists in implementation of the standard Although many industry sectors have a mature business continuity capability, many do not, particularly small to medium business.

The benefits of ISO 9004:2000 can be leveraged for improving an existing quality management system. While ISO 9001:2008 focuses on the effectiveness of the quality management system in meeting customer requirements, ISO 9004:2000 contains many important guidelines for a QMS that has the aim of improving the overall performance and capabilities of an organization.
More than 500,000 organizations around the world have registered their quality management systems to one of the ISO 9000 series standards
