The FFIEC released the new Business Continuity Planning (BCP) IT Examination Handbook this month. The prior BCP IT Examination Handbook was released in March, 2003. A few new key areas include:
-
Pandemic Planning
-
More emphasis on:
The new BCP IT Examination Handbook has been greatly expanded - to give you an idea, the old BCP booklet (March 2003) was only 57 pages, and the new booklet (March 2008) is 132 pages - more twice the size - this should also give us an indication of the new importance & emphasis placed on Business Continuity.
