Andrew Hiles 
The Definitive Handbook of Business Continuity Management [EPUB ebook] 

With a pedigree going back over ten years, The Definitive
Handbook of Business Continuity Management can rightly claim to
be a classic guide to business risk management and contingency
planning, with a style that makes it accessible to all business
managers. Some of the original underlying principles remain the
same – but much has changed. This is reflected in this
radically updated third edition, with exciting and helpful new
content from new and innovative contributors and new case studies
bringing the book right up to the minute.

This book combines over 500 years of experience from leading
Business Continuity experts of many countries. It is presented in
an easy-to-follow format, explaining in detail the core BC
activities incorporated in BS 25999, Business Continuity
Guidelines, BS 25777 IT Disaster Recovery and other standards and
in the body of knowledge common to the key business continuity
institutes.

Contributors from America, Asia Pacific, Europe, China, India
and the Middle East provide a truly global perspective, bringing
their own insights and approaches to the subject, sharing best
practice from the four corners of the world.

We explore and summarize the latest legislation, guidelines and
standards impacting BC planning and management and explain their
impact.

The structured format, with many revealing case studies,
examples and checklists, provides a clear roadmap, simplifying and
de-mystifying business continuity processes for those new to its
disciplines and providing a benchmark of current best practice for
those more experienced practitioners.

This book makes a massive contribution to the knowledge base of
BC and risk management. It is essential reading for all business
continuity, risk managers and auditors: none should be without
it.
