Not surprisingly, the top BC threat was deemed by 25% of participants to be 'Loss of Site' followed closely behind by 'Utility Outage' at 22%.

We found that 34% of organisations hadn't tested their BC plans at all. Of those who had tested their plans, 55% did it on an annual basis. 31% of participants don't yet have a BC plan (contact us if you need our Free Key BC resources to get you going!)

'Budgetary constraints' proved to be the key limiting factor in BC planning at 25%.

The trend for BC planning is growing at an exponetial rate with almost half (44%) of all companies drafting their first plan in the last five years.

62% of our survey participants had 'heard of BS25999 but haven't yet looked into it, whilst at the other end of the scale, only 3% said they were fully compliant.

Surprisingly, 75% of companies represented had not yet been directly effected by the so-called 'Subprime Mortgage Crisis'. 9% stated that their profits would be effected.
