European Network and Information Security Agency: IT Continuity Resources
The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) site’s purpose is to: “Promote Risk Assessment and Risk Management methods to enhance the capability of dealing with network and information security threats” [ENISA Regulation].
As continuity risks are considered to be amongst the most important faced by many organisations and businesses, ENISA decided to invest its efforts in the promotion of methods, tools and good practices for continuity management. As the main focus of the Agency is on Network and Information Security, the context of this work will be on Information Technology and closely related areas.
This site utilises knowledge of many different methods, represents them on a Business Continuity overview process diagram and then compares the methods through individual process diagrams and entries in an inventory. This allows the readers to assess their suitability for use within their own organisation. Moreover, it provides an orientation for the target audience who would like to have an overview on the state of art of methods and good practices for continuity and who would like to properly apply existing approaches to their organisation.
An extensive report, Business and IT Continuity: Overview and Implementation Principles, is available on the site.
