Dictionary of Business Continuity Management Terms

Version 2 — Business Continuity Institute, 2012. — 65 p.It is recognized that many terms and definitions exist throughout the world that relate to BCM or synergic subjects like Risk Management and Emergency Planning. It would be impossible to include them all but the BCI does attempt to keep an up to date as possible dictionary of important BCM terms and their sources.Terms in this glossary which are also defined in GPG2010 and/or BS25999 generally use the same definition as that source document. However some additional explanation might have been made to improve clarity and understanding.All other definitions and editorial notes are consolidated definitions from the various source documents that provide the term in their glossary sections.In the column headed References the following codes designate where the term has also been defined. The BCI definition will normally retain the same meaning as in these alternative documents but wording will not necessarily be identical.
