BS 10800 FAQ's

Many businesses write a continuity plan but never test it, leave staff unaware of their roles, or fail to update the plan as operations change. A plan only works if your team actually knows how to use it.
Start with a proper gap analysis against BS 10800 requirements. Then build your continuity plan, train your staff, and run an internal audit before your official assessment date.
Core requirements include a documented continuity plan, clear roles and responsibilities, tested emergency response procedures, and proper records of recovery actions.
Yes. A consultant can run your gap analysis, build your documentation, train your team, and guide you through the review process, so you approach it with confidence.
