ISO/PAS 22399 provides international best practice for preparedness and continuity management

摘要

In November 2007, ISO published a Public Available Specification which is the first internationally ratified document regarding preparedness and continuity management. ISO/PAS 22399:2007, Societal security - Guideline for incident preparedness and operational continuity management, is an international consensus on best practices from the five main contributions made to the ISO Workshop on Emergency Preparedness held in Florence, Italy, in April 2006. This "best of five" guideline draws its key elements and attributes from: (1) NFPA 1600, Standard on Disaster Management and Business Continuity Programs of the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); (2) BS 25999-1, Business Continuity Management Part 1: Code of Practice of the preparedness- and continuity-related risk management must address mitigation, response, operational/business continuity, and recovery in addition to prevention and deterrence.
