Re: Mapping BS 25999 with ISo 17799

["Nikhil Wagholikar" <visitnikhil () gmail com>]

Hello hkhasgiwale,

ISO 17799 (now ISO 27002) is a guideline for ISO 27001, which is
Information Security Management System (ISMS). On the other hand, BS
25999 is a Business Continuity Management (BCM) standard. So these two
standards are different and serve different purposes altogether.

As far as overlapping is concerned, ISO 27001 has a part of BCP/DRP,
which is nothing more than a framework, whereas for BS 25999, this is
very comprehensive.
