A generic framework and guideline for an IT service continuity programme

PAS 77:2006 has been developed in partnership with Adam Continuity, Dell Corporation, Unisys and SunGard and is designed for organizations of all sizes whether in the private or public sector. The new code of practice is intended for use by anyone responsible for implementing, delivering and managing IT Service Continuity within an organization.

An effective IT service continuity management (ITSCM) system safeguards the performance of IT services both before and after an incident. By investigating, developing and implementing preventative and recovery options beforehand, organizations with an ITSCM system in place are well prepared and equipped to minimize and manage the event of an IT Service failure that could threaten business continuity.

NEW PAS 77:2006 IT Service Continuity Management

PAS 77:2006 provides guidance on the aspects of ITSCM which organizations should consider when investing in this area. It complements other existing and internationally renowned standards such as PAS 56, BS ISO/IEC 20000, BS ISO/IEC 17799 and ISO 9001 and does not replace or supersede them.
