How you organise your business continuity plans is up to you. BS 25999 has a number of requirements (see below) that these plans must meet collectively. There could be just one plan. Alternatively, there could be several plans, each of which addresses all of BS 25999's requirements but only in respect of certain critical activities. For example, you could have a "complete" plan for different geographical sites. You might also have different plans, each of which addresses all of your critical activities but only in respect of certain BS 25999 requirements. For example, you might have different plans for different groups of people according to their respective organisational roles. Of course, you might even have a diversity of plans in which each one covers a subset of critical activities and BS 25999 requirements.

Give this particular plan a title. It will be indexed from the ??? page. Note that every plan must have a purpose and scope and an owner, hence the table at the beginning of the page.

Remember that there can be more than one plan, and collectively they must address the following requirements. Make sure that you use the correct anchor names as these are referred to in the BCMS Conformance page. The requirements are listed below. They are grouped into individual instructions in order to assist in apportioning them to the different plans that you might create.
